The symmetry conjecture for the Solomon homomorphism

Let WW be a finite Coxeter group, and let ΣW\Sigma W be the Solomon descent algebra of WW. The Solomon homomorphism [...][...] maps elements of ΣW\Sigma W to class functions on WW. Symmetry conjecture. For all x,yΣWx,y\in \Sigma W,

Φ(x)(y)=Φ(y)(x).\Phi(x)(y)=\Phi(y)(x).

Jöllenbeck and Reutenauer proved this symmetry for Coxeter groups of type AnA_n; the conjecture asks for it for all finite Coxeter groups.
