Explicit basis conjecture for invariant differential forms and multiderivations of coincidental reflection groups

About 7 years old · traced to

Let WW be a coincidental complex reflection group, let S(V∗)S(V^*) be the symmetric algebra on the dual of its reflection representation, and choose basic invariants f1,…,fnf_1,\ldots,f_n and basic derivations θ1,…,θn\theta_1,\ldots,\theta_n. For r=1,…,nr=1,\ldots,n, set

Mr=(S(V∗)⊗∧V∗⊗∧rV)WM_r=(S(V^*)\otimes\wedge V^*\otimes\wedge^r V)^W

and

Rr=∧S(V∗)W{df1,…,dfn−r}.R_r=\wedge_{S(V^*)^W}\{df_1,\ldots,df_{n-r}\}.

Here θ~i\widetilde{\theta}_i denotes the differential operator induced by the derivation θi\theta_i as defined in the preceding setup. Explicit basis conjecture. One may choose the basic invariants and basic derivations so that each MrM_r is a free module over RrR_r, with basis

θ~i1⋯θ~im(θj1∧⋯∧θjr)\widetilde{\theta}_{i_1}\cdots\widetilde{\theta}_{i_m}\left(\theta_{j_1}\wedge\cdots\wedge\theta_{j_r}\right)

for 0≤m≤r0\leq m\leq r, 1≤i1<⋯<im≤r1\leq i_1<\cdots<i_m\leq r, and 1≤j1<⋯<jr≤n1\leq j_1<\cdots<j_r\leq n. For r=0r=0, the basis consists of the element 11. This conjecture strengthens the paper's main invariant-theoretic theorem by specifying an explicit basis; the paper states that it is verified for all remaining coincidental groups other than types AA and G(d,1,n)G(d,1,n), while the general assertion as presented here has unresolved status.
