Kazhdan–Lusztig positivity conjecture for matroids

About 16 years old · traced to

Let MM be a matroid, and let PM(t)∈Z[t]P_M(t)\in\mathbb{Z}[t] be its Kazhdan–Lusztig polynomial, characterized by the recursive conditions in the paper. Kazhdan–Lusztig positivity conjecture. For any matroid MM, the coefficients of PM(t)P_M(t) are non-negative. This was proved for representable matroids using an intersection cohomology interpretation, but remains open for arbitrary matroids.
