Dyer's finite Coxeter group conjecture on joins in weak order

About 1 year old · traced to

Let (W,S)(W,S) be a finite Coxeter system, let TT be its set of reflections, and let ℓ\ell be the Coxeter length function. For w∈Ww\in W, define its left-reflection set by

TL(w)=t∈T∣ℓ(tw)<ℓ(w).T_L(w)=\\{t\in T\mid \ell(tw)<\ell(w)\\}.

For u,v∈Wu,v\in W, let VW(u,v)V_W(u,v) be the set of vertices of directed Bruhat paths starting at the identity whose edge labels lie in TL(u)∪TL(v)T_L(u)\cup T_L(v). Dyer's finite join conjecture. For all u,v∈Wu,v\in W,

TL(u∨Rv)=T∩VW(u,v).T_L(u\vee_R v)=T\cap V_W(u,v).

Here u∨Rvu\vee_R v denotes the join in the right weak order. This reformulates Dyer's conjectural description of joins in the extended weak order in terms of left-reflection sets and Bruhat paths; the source states that the original conjecture remains open even for finite Coxeter systems.
