Lusztig–Dyer Combinatorial Invariance Conjecture

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′,y′iW′x',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.
