Broué–Malle–Michel's symmetrising trace conjecture for generic Hecke algebras

About 8 years old · traced to

Let WW be a complex reflection group, let R(W)R(W) be its ring of definition, and let H(W)\mathcal{H}(W) be its generic Hecke algebra. Let B(W)B(W) be the braid group, let π\boldsymbol{\pi} be the full-twist element, and let TbT_b denote the image of b∈B(W)b\in B(W) in H(W)\mathcal{H}(W). Broué–Malle–Michel's symmetrising trace conjecture. There exists a linear map

τ:H(W)→R(W)\tau:\mathcal{H}(W)\rightarrow R(W)

satisfying the three conditions stated in the source: it is a symmetrising trace; it specialises to the canonical trace on the group algebra; and

τ(Tb−1)∗=τ(Tbπ)τ(Tπ)\tau(T_{b^{-1}})^*=\frac{\tau(T_{b\boldsymbol{\pi}})}{\tau(T_{\boldsymbol{\pi}})}

for all b∈B(W)b\in B(W), with the involution uC,j↦uC,j−1u_{\mathcal{C},j}\mapsto u_{\mathcal{C},j}^{-1}.

The source reports that this conjecture remains open for most complex reflection groups, although it has been proved for several exceptional groups and partially established for the infinite series.
