Parabolic subgroup invariance conjecture for reduced reflection expressions
Parabolic subgroup invariance conjecture for reduced reflection expressions
Let be a Coxeter group with reflection set , and let denote the set of minimal-length expressions of as a product of reflections. Suppose that
and that is parabolic. Parabolic subgroup invariance conjecture. For every
we have
The conjecture asserts that whenever one reduced reflection expression generates a parabolic subgroup, the subgroup generated by the reflections in every reduced expression of the same element is identical. The surrounding results establish that parabolic subgroups preserve reflection length under passage to their canonical reflection sets; whether this stronger invariance statement holds in general is left open here.
