The cocenter basis conjecture for Hecke algebras of Coxeter groups

Let (W,S)(W,S) be a Coxeter system, let RR be the coefficient ring, and let H\mathcal{H} be its Hecke algebra. The cocenter is the quotient H/[H,H]\mathcal{H}/[\mathcal{H},\mathcal{H}], where [H,H][\mathcal{H},\mathcal{H}] is the RR-submodule generated by commutators hhhhhh'-h'h for h,hHh,h'\in\mathcal{H}. Write cl(W)\operatorname{cl}(W) for the set of conjugacy classes of WW. Cocenter basis conjecture. The cocenter H/[H,H]\mathcal{H}/[\mathcal{H},\mathcal{H}] has a basis indexed by the set of conjugacy classes cl(W)\operatorname{cl}(W). This conjecture extends the known finite and affine cases; the paper reports a partial result but does not establish the full basis statement for any Coxeter group.
