Conjecture on Kazhdan–Lusztig cells at integral parameter ratios

About 20 years old · traced to

Let WnW_n be the Coxeter group of type BnB_n, and for each r⩾0r\geqslant 0 let the left, right, and two-sided rr-cells be the fibers determined by the domino-insertion tableaux Qr(w)Q^r(w), Pr(w)P^r(w), and their common shape, respectively.

Integral-ratio cell conjecture. Assume that b=rab=ra for some r⩾1r\geqslant 1. Then the Kazhdan–Lusztig left, right, and two-sided cells of WnW_n are the smallest subsets of WnW_n that are simultaneously unions of the corresponding (r−1)(r-1)-cells and rr-cells.

This addresses the parameter values excluded from the open intervals in Conjectures A and A+. It proposes that the cells at an integral ratio are obtained by combining the adjacent domino-cell decompositions; the paper leaves this assertion conjectural.
