The QQ-polynomial triple-intersection vanishing conjecture

About 2 years old · traced to

Consider the QQ-polynomial distance-regular graph Γ=(X,R)\Gamma=(X,\mathcal R), with standard module VV, diameter DD, and Krein parameters qi,jhq^h_{i,j}. Let Λ\Lambda be the fundamental T\mathbb T-submodule of V⊗3V^{\otimes 3}, and let Eh(1),Ei(2),Ej(3)E_h^{(1)},E_i^{(2)},E_j^{(3)} denote the corresponding tensor-factor operators. The QQ-polynomial triple-intersection vanishing conjecture. For 0≤h,i,j≤D0\leq h,i,j\leq D,

Eh(1)Ei(2)Ej(3)Λ=0if and only ifqi,jh=0.E_h^{(1)} E_i^{(2)} E_j^{(3)} \Lambda=0 \qquad\text{if and only if}\qquad q^h_{i,j}=0.

This is the conjectural analogue for the ordinary primitive idempotents of the established statement involving the dual primitive idempotents and the intersection numbers pi,jhp^h_{i,j}. It predicts that the vanishing pattern of these operator images on Λ\Lambda exactly records the vanishing of the Krein parameters.
