Coxeter polynomial conjecture for non-negative posets of Dynkin type
Coxeter polynomial conjecture for non-negative posets of Dynkin type
Let be a poset with at most elements, and let denote its Coxeter polynomial. Write for its Dynkin type, and call non-negative when its associated quadratic form is non-negative. A poset is connected when its Hasse diagram is connected.
Coxeter polynomial conjecture. If
then is connected. If, additionally, is non-negative, then
The conjecture proposes that, for posets of at most elements, this cyclotomic Coxeter polynomial forces connectedness, and in the non-negative case identifies the Dynkin type as . It follows an example showing that the Coxeter polynomial alone does not preserve positivity of posets.
