The finite Garside-shadow conjecture for n-low elements

About 11 years old · traced to

Let (W,S)(W,S) be a Coxeter system. For n∈Nn\in\mathbb N, define the dominance depth of a positive root as the number of positive roots it strictly dominates, let the nn-small roots be those of dominance depth at most nn, and let Ln(W)L_n(W) be the set of elements whose left inversion sets are the conic hulls of sets of nn-small roots. A Garside shadow is a subset of WW containing SS and closed under joins in the right weak order and under taking suffixes. The finite Garside-shadow conjecture for n-low elements. If n∈Nn\in\mathbb N, then Ln(W)L_n(W) is a finite Garside shadow in (W,S)(W,S). The paper proves that Ln(W)L_n(W) is finite and closed under joins; stability under suffixes is the remaining conjectural part, and the result would yield an infinite filtration by finite Garside shadows.
