Lusztig's P1–P15 conjectures for Coxeter groups with complete graph

About 21 years old · traced to

Let (W,S)(W,S) be a Coxeter group with weight function LL, Hecke algebra structure constants hx,y,zh_{x,y,z}, Kazhdan–Lusztig a\mathbf{a}-function, and sets D≥N\mathcal{D}_{\geq N} and W≥NW_{\geq N} defined by the preceding notation. For N∈NN\in\mathbb{N}, write D≥N={z∈D∣a(z)≥N}\mathcal{D}_{\geq N}=\{z\in\mathcal{D}\mid\mathbf{a}(z)\geq N\} and W≥N={w∈W∣a(w)≥N}W_{\geq N}=\{w\in W\mid\mathbf{a}(w)\geq N\}. Lusztig's P1–P15 conjectures. For every N∈NN\in\mathbb{N}, the following assertions hold: (P1)≥N(\mathrm{P1})_{\geq N}: for every w∈W≥Nw\in W_{\geq N}, a(w)≤Δ(w)\mathbf{a}(w)\leq\Delta(w); (P2)≥N(\mathrm{P2})_{\geq N}: if z∈D≥Nz\in\mathcal{D}_{\geq N} and γx,y,z≠0\gamma_{x,y,z}\neq0, then x=y−1x=y^{-1}; (P3)≥N(\mathrm{P3})_{\geq N}: if y∈W≥Ny\in W_{\geq N}, there is a unique z∈Dz\in\mathcal{D} with γy−1,y,z≠0\gamma_{y^{-1},y,z}\neq0; (P4)≥N(\mathrm{P4})_{\geq N}: if w′≺LRww'\prec_{LR}w and w∈W≥Nw\in W_{\geq N}, then a(w′)≥a(w)\mathbf{a}(w')\geq\mathbf{a}(w); (P5)≥N(\mathrm{P5})_{\geq N}: if z∈D≥Nz\in\mathcal{D}_{\geq N}, γy−1,y,z≠0\gamma_{y^{-1},y,z}\neq0, then γy−1,y,z=nz=±1\gamma_{y^{-1},y,z}=n_z=\pm1; (P6)≥N(\mathrm{P6})_{\geq N}: every z∈D≥Nz\in\mathcal{D}_{\geq N} satisfies z2=ez^2=e; (P7)≥N(\mathrm{P7})_{\geq N}: if one of x,y,zx,y,z lies in W≥NW_{\geq N}, then γx,y,z=γy,z,x=γz,x,y\gamma_{x,y,z}=\gamma_{y,z,x}=\gamma_{z,x,y}; (P8)≥N(\mathrm{P8})_{\geq N}: if one of x,y,zx,y,z lies in W≥NW_{\geq N} and γx,y,z≠0\gamma_{x,y,z}\neq0, then x∼Ly−1x\sim_Ly^{-1}, y∼Lz−1y\sim_Lz^{-1}, and z∼Lx−1z\sim_Lx^{-1}; (P9)≥N(\mathrm{P9})_{\geq N}: if w′≺Lww'\prec_Lw, w∈W≥Nw\in W_{\geq N}, and a(w′)=a(w)\mathbf{a}(w')=\mathbf{a}(w), then w′∼Lww'\sim_Lw; (P10)≥N(\mathrm{P10})_{\geq N}: the analogous assertion holds for the right preorder and right-cell equivalence; (P11)≥N(\mathrm{P11})_{\geq N}: the analogous assertion holds for the two-sided preorder and two-sided-cell equivalence; (P12)≥N(\mathrm{P12})_{\geq N}: for I⊆SI\subseteq S and y∈WI∩W≥Ny\in W_I\cap W_{\geq N}, the a\mathbf{a}-value of yy in WIW_I equals its value in WW; (P13)≥N(\mathrm{P13})_{\geq N}: every left cell Γ⊆W≥N\Gamma\subseteq W_{\geq N} contains a unique z∈Dz\in\mathcal{D}, and γy−1,y,z≠0\gamma_{y^{-1},y,z}\neq0 for every y∈Γy\in\Gamma; (P14)≥N(\mathrm{P14})_{\geq N}: every w∈W≥Nw\in W_{\geq N} satisfies w∼LRw−1w\sim_{LR}w^{-1}; and (P15)≥N(\mathrm{P15})_{\geq N}: for w,w′∈Ww,w'\in W and x,y∈W≥Nx,y\in W_{\geq N} with a(x)=a(y)\mathbf{a}(x)=\mathbf{a}(y),

∑z∈Whw,x,z⊗hz,w′,y=∑z∈Whw,z,y⊗hx,w′,z∈A⊗ZA.\sum_{z\in W}h_{w,x,z}\otimes h_{z,w',y}=\sum_{z\in W}h_{w,z,y}\otimes h_{x,w',z}\in\mathcal{A}\otimes_{\mathbb{Z}}\mathcal{A}.

These are the truncated forms of Lusztig's fifteen conjectures governing the a\mathbf{a}-function, distinguished elements, leading coefficients, and cell preorders in Coxeter-group Hecke algebras. The supplied text does not state whether this full collection is open or resolved, so the database status remains open.
