Lusztig–Dyer Combinatorial Invariance Conjecture

From papers

Let (W,S)(W,S) and (W,S)(W',S') be Coxeter systems with Bruhat orders \leq and \leq', respectively. For x,yiWx,y i W and x,yiWx',y' i W', suppose that the intervals ([x,y],)([x,y],\leq) and ([x,y],)([x',y'],\leq') are isomorphic as posets. Their associated Kazhdan–Lusztig polynomials are denoted by Px,y(q)P_{x,y}(q) and Px,y(q)P_{x',y'}(q).

Combinatorial Invariance Conjecture. If two Bruhat intervals, potentially from different Coxeter groups, are isomorphic as posets, then

Px,y(q)=Px,y(q).P_{x,y}(q)=P_{x',y'}(q).

The conjecture was introduced independently by Lusztig and Dyer in the 1980s. The paper proves it for thick intervals in type A~2\widetilde{A}_2; its general status is not resolved in the supplied text.
