The symmetrising-form conjecture for generic Hecke algebras

Let WW be a finite complex reflection group, let H(W,u)\mathcal H(W,\mathbf u) be its generic Hecke algebra over the base ring AA, and let fχf_\chi be the Schur element associated with each irreducible character χ\chi. Define the canonical trace form by

tW,u(h):=χIrr(H(W,u))1fχχ(h).t_{W,\mathbf u}(h):=\sum_{\chi\in\operatorname{Irr}(\mathcal H(W,\mathbf u))}\frac{1}{f_\chi}\chi(h).

Symmetrising-form conjecture. The form tW,ut_{W,\mathbf u} takes values in AA and is a symmetrising form on H(W,u)\mathcal H(W,\mathbf u). This is the Hecke-algebra conjecture attributed in the source to Brou'e--Malle--Michel; the paper treats it as a conjecture and notes that it is known in many cases.
