BMM symmetrising trace conjecture for generic Hecke algebras

About 5 years old · traced to

Let WW be an irreducible complex reflection group, let B(W)B(W) be its braid group, let R=Z[u,u−1]R=\mathbb{Z}[\mathbf{u},\mathbf{u}^{-1}], and let H(W)\mathcal{H}(W) be its generic Hecke algebra. Let π\boldsymbol{\pi} be the distinguished central element defined from the centre of WW. A symmetrising trace is an RR-linear trace τ:H(W)→R\tau:\mathcal{H}(W)\to R inducing the associated symmetrising form. For β∈B(W)\beta\in B(W), write TβT_\beta for its image in H(W)\mathcal{H}(W), and let x↦x∗x\mapsto x^* be the automorphism of RR given by u↦u−1\mathbf{u}\mapsto\mathbf{u}^{-1}.

BMM symmetrising trace conjecture. There exists a symmetrising trace τ:H(W)→R\tau:\mathcal{H}(W)\to R such that:

  1. τ\tau specialises to the canonical symmetrising trace on the group algebra of WW when uC,j↦ηeCju_{\mathcal{C},j}\mapsto\eta_{e_\mathcal{C}}^j;
  2. for every β∈B(W)\beta\in B(W),
τ(Tβ−1)∗=τ(Tβπ)τ(Tπ).\tau(T_{\beta^{-1}})^*=\frac{\tau(T_{\beta\boldsymbol{\pi}})}{\tau(T_{\boldsymbol{\pi}})}.

The conjecture concerns a canonical trace structure on generic Hecke algebras of complex reflection groups and is attributed in the paper to Broué, Malle and Michel. Its resolution status is not stated in the supplied material.
