Product formula conjecture for Kazhdan–Lusztig R-polynomials

About 13 years old · traced to

Let n≥2n\geq 2, and let e≤σ1≤σ2≤Ωne\leq \sigma_1\leq \sigma_2\leq \Omega_n. For the Kazhdan–Lusztig RR-polynomial R~σ1,σ2(q)\widetilde{R}_{\sigma_1,\sigma_2}(q), write Fj(q)F_j(q) for the qq-Fibonacci polynomials used in the paper. Product formula conjecture. There exist integers kk, g(σ1,σ2)g(\sigma_1,\sigma_2), and hi(σ1,σ2)h_i(\sigma_1,\sigma_2), depending on σ1\sigma_1 and σ2\sigma_2, such that

R~σ1,σ2(q)=qg(σ1,σ2)∏i=1kFhi(σ1,σ2)(q−2).\widetilde{R}_{\sigma_1,\sigma_2}(q)=q^{g(\sigma_1,\sigma_2)}\prod_{i=1}^{k}F_{h_i(\sigma_1,\sigma_2)}(q^{-2}).

The conjecture proposes that every polynomial in this interval factors, up to a power of qq, into qq-Fibonacci polynomials. It had been verified for n≤9n\leq 9 in the source, while the general case remains open.
