Lattice conjecture for inverse atom sets of involutions in the symmetric group

About 9 years old · traced to

Let SnS_n be the symmetric group, let I(Sn)\mathcal{I}(S_n) denote its set of involutions, and for z∈I(Sn)z\in\mathcal{I}(S_n) let A(z)\mathcal{A}(z) be the corresponding set of atoms, equipped with the atomic order <A<_A. Lattice conjecture. If z∈I(Sn)z\in\mathcal{I}(S_n), then

(A(z)−1,<A)(\mathcal{A}(z)^{-1},<_A)

is a lattice. This is presented as a related conjecture about the additional structure of atomic orders; determining the sets A(z)\mathcal{A}(z) efficiently for involutions in arbitrary Coxeter groups remains an open problem.
