Bessis–Digne–Michel's centralizer conjecture for regular braid-group elements
Bessis–Digne–Michel's centralizer conjecture for regular braid-group elements
Let be a finite-dimensional complex vector space, let be an irreducible finite complex reflection group, and let be the complement of its reflecting hyperplanes. Let be a root of unity of order , where is regular for , and choose such that
Write , let be the centralizer of in , and let and be the braid groups associated with and , respectively. Choose a basepoint in the image of , and let be the corresponding lift of .
Bessis–Digne–Michel's centralizer conjecture. The natural morphism
induces an isomorphism between and the centralizer .
This conjecture asserts that the Springer-theoretic centralizer of a regular element lifts from the reflection group to its braid group. The source states that it is checked for Artin braid groups and some other cases; no general resolution is given here.
