The dual stacked upper-bound conjecture for cd-indices of Bruhat intervals
The dual stacked upper-bound conjecture for cd-indices of Bruhat intervals
Let be an interval in the Bruhat order on a Coxeter group, with and . Let denote its cd-index, and let a dual stacked polytope be a polytope obtained from a simplex by a series of vertex-shavings. The dual stacked upper-bound conjecture. The coefficientwise maximum of all cd-indices with and is attained on a Bruhat interval which is isomorphic to a dual stacked polytope of dimension with facets. Equivalently, the cd-index of such a dual stacked polytope is coefficientwise an upper bound for the cd-indices of all these Bruhat intervals. The conjecture proposes that Bruhat intervals have no larger cd-index coefficients than the explicitly realized dual stacked examples; the source gives no resolution, so the assertion remains open.
