The centre-surjectivity conjecture for Hecke algebras of complex reflection groups

About 23 years old · traced to

Let A=Z[x,x−1]A=\mathbb{Z}[x,x^{-1}], let RR be a commutative local AA-algebra, and let FF be its residue field. Let H{\mathcal H} be the Hecke algebra of a finite complex reflection group. Centre-surjectivity conjecture. The canonical morphism

Z(RH)⟶Z(FH)Z(R{\mathcal H})\longrightarrow Z(F{\mathcal H})

is surjective. This property controls the behaviour of the centre under scalar extension and is equivalent to the corresponding property for class functions on a symmetric algebra. The source states that the conjecture is true when WW is a Weyl group, while the general case remains open.
