Reading's maximum cd-index conjecture for Bruhat intervals
Let be a Coxeter system, and let be an interval in the Bruhat order of . Write for the length of and suppose that the length of is . The -index of a dual stacked -polytope with facets is understood coefficientwise. Reading's conjecture. The -index of is coefficientwise less than or equal to the -index of a dual stacked -polytope with facets. In particular, the -index of an interval is less than or equal to the -index of a Boolean lattice. Bruhat intervals are Eulerian and shellable, and Reading showed that their -indices span the generalized Dehn--Sommerville space. The proposed coefficientwise maximum remains unresolved in the source.
