Thomas's pre-Cambrian–Cambrian coincidence conjecture

At least 20 years old · documented by

Let WW be a finite reflection group containing −1-1, let GG be its Dynkin diagram, and let Gˉ\bar G be an orientation. Form the Coxeter element cc from the oriented diagram, order the roots as they occur among the inversions of ch/2c^{h/2}, and let xix_i have inversion set consisting of the first ii roots. Let the pre-Cambrian lattice associated with Gˉ\bar G be the minimal quotient of WW for which all the xix_i are left modular, and let C(Gˉ)C(\bar G) denote the Cambrian lattice associated with Gˉ\bar G. Pre-Cambrian–Cambrian coincidence conjecture. The pre-Cambrian lattice associated with Gˉ\bar G coincides with the Cambrian lattice C(Gˉ)C(\bar G). This conjecture appears in the proposed description of Cambrian lattices beyond types AA and BB, whose structure was not yet understood in the paper.
