The generalized Singer conjecture for weighted L2L^2-homology

Let (W,S)(W,S) be a Coxeter system with nerve LL, let Sigma Sigma be its associated complex, and suppose that LL is a generalized homology sphere of dimension n1n-1, written GHSn1GHS^{n-1}. Let q{\mathbf q} be a positive weight vector, with q1{\mathbf q}\leq{\mathbf 1} coordinatewise. The generalized Singer conjecture. If k>n2k>\frac{n}{2}, then

Lq2Hk(Σ)=0.L^2_{\mathbf q}\mathcal H_k(\Sigma)=0.

By Poincare duality, the source notes the equivalent formulation for q1{\mathbf q}\geq{\mathbf 1} and k<n2k<\frac{n}{2}. This extends the ordinary Singer conjecture to weighted L2L^2-homology; evidence is given in several low-dimensional and right-angled cases, while the general assertion remains open.
