Malle–Michel's lifting conjecture for Hecke algebra bases

About 8 years old · traced to

Let WW be a complex reflection group, let B(W)B(W) be its braid group, let H(W)\mathcal{H}(W) be its generic Hecke algebra, and let τ\tau be a canonical symmetrising trace on H(W)\mathcal{H}(W). Malle–Michel's lifting conjecture. There exists a section

W→W⊂B(W),w↦w,W\rightarrow\boldsymbol{W}\subset B(W),\qquad w\mapsto\boldsymbol{w},

of the quotient map B(W)→WB(W)\rightarrow W such that 1∈W1\in\boldsymbol{W} and

τ(Tw)=δ1w\tau(T_{\boldsymbol{w}})=\delta_{1\boldsymbol{w}}

for every w∈W\boldsymbol{w}\in\boldsymbol{W}.

This conjecture seeks a lifted copy of the reflection group whose braid lifts have the expected trace values. The supplied text attributes it to Malle and Michel but does not state a general resolution.
