Kapranov–Schechtman's total-positivity conjecture for finite Coxeter groups
Let be a finite Coxeter group of rank . For subsets , let and be the parabolic subgroups of of types and , respectively. Define the metamatrix by
Kapranov–Schechtman's conjecture. The metamatrix is totally positive.
This extends the known type- result, where , to arbitrary finite real reflection groups. The conjecture is proved in the source for type and the exceptional types, while the general finite-Coxeter-group case remains open.
