The Fourier pairing conjecture for irreducible spetsial complex reflection groups

About 3 years old · traced to

Let WW be an irreducible spetsial complex reflection group, and write Irr⁡(W)\operatorname{Irr}(W) for its irreducible characters. Let Deg⁡χ(q)\operatorname{Deg}_\chi(q) and Feg⁡χ(q)\operatorname{Feg}_\chi(q) denote the generic degree and fake degree associated with χ∈Irr⁡(W)\chi\in\operatorname{Irr}(W), and let hχh_\chi be the corresponding hh-value. A pairing {−,−}W\{-,-\}_W on Irr⁡(W)×Irr⁡(W)\operatorname{Irr}(W)\times\operatorname{Irr}(W) satisfies (T1), (T2), and (T3) when

Deg⁡χ(q)=∑ϕ∈Irr⁡(W){χ,ϕ}WFeg⁡ϕ(q),\operatorname{Deg}_\chi(q)=\sum_{\phi\in\operatorname{Irr}(W)}\{\chi,\phi\}_W\operatorname{Feg}_\phi(q), {χ,ϕ}W={ϕ,χ}W,\{\chi,\phi\}_W=\{\phi,\chi\}_W,

and {χ,ϕ}W≠0\{\chi,\phi\}_W\ne0 implies hχ=hϕh_\chi=h_\phi. The Fourier pairing conjecture. For every irreducible spetsial complex reflection group WW, there exists a pairing {−,−}W\{-,-\}_W satisfying (T1), (T2), and (T3). Such a pairing would provide the Fourier-transform structure motivating the section and would relate generic degrees to fake degrees while respecting the hh-values; existence for all irreducible spetsial complex reflection groups remains open.
