The root-order conjecture for decomposable inversion roots
The root-order conjecture for decomposable inversion roots
Let be a simply-laced Coxeter group, let , and let be its associated inversion set. For a reduced expression of , write for the corresponding order on . A root is decomposable if it can be written as a sum of two roots in the relevant root system.
Root-order conjecture. If is decomposable, then there exists a decomposition
such that, for two different reduced expressions of ,
The statement need not hold for every decomposition of , only for at least one. It is motivated by the behavior of indecomposable elements of inversion sets and is presented as an open conjecture.
