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

From papers

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

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

For u,vWu,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,vWu,v\in W,

TL(uRv)=TVW(u,v).T_L(u\vee_R v)=T\cap V_W(u,v).

Here uRvu\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.
