Kazhdan–Lusztig positivity conjecture for matroids
Let be a matroid, and let be its Kazhdan–Lusztig polynomial, characterized by the recursive conditions in the paper. Kazhdan–Lusztig positivity conjecture. For any matroid , the coefficients of are non-negative. This was proved for representable matroids using an intersection cohomology interpretation, but remains open for arbitrary matroids.
