The conjecture on polynomial class-sum bases for centers of Hecke algebras

About 5 years old · traced to

Let WW be a complex reflection group, let HH be its associated Hecke algebra over the parameter ring RR, and let Cl⁡(W)\operatorname{Cl}(W) denote the set of conjugacy classes of WW. For a basis {bw:w∈W}\{b_w:w\in W\} of HH and representatives {wC:C∈Cl⁡(W)}\{w_C:C\in\operatorname{Cl}(W)\}, let gw,Cg_{w,C} be the coefficients produced by the construction of the preceding center theorem, and let zCz_C be the resulting central elements.

Polynomial class-sum basis conjecture. There exists a choice of a basis {bw:w∈W}\{b_w:w\in W\} of HH and a choice of conjugacy class representatives {wC:C∈Cl⁡(W)}\{w_C:C\in\operatorname{Cl}(W)\} such that the construction yields polynomial coefficients gw,C∈Rg_{w,C}\in R, and hence a basis

{zC:C∈Cl⁡(W)}\{z_C:C\in\operatorname{Cl}(W)\}

of Z(H)Z(H).

The claim generalizes the explicitly verified rank-two exceptional cases listed in the source and seeks an integral, parameter-polynomial basis of the center for every complex reflection group. The supplied text gives no resolution evidence, so the conjecture remains open here.
