Haettel's bowtie-free and upward-flag conjecture for type subdivisions
Haettel's bowtie-free and upward-flag conjecture for type subdivisions
Let be a Coxeter diagram of type with . Construct the -subdivision of the simplicial complex by subdividing each edge connecting a vertex of type to one of type , assigning the new midpoint type , and cutting each top-dimensional simplex along the codimension-one simplex spanned by the vertices of type and . Define on the vertices of by sending types to for , type to , and types to . For adjacent vertices , set when . Haettel's conjecture. The relation makes a poset that is bowtie free and upward flag. This conjecture predicts that the type subdivision shares a key combinatorial property with the Artin complex of type ; Haettel's original motivation was to obtain an alternative proof that the Artin group of type satisfies the -conjecture.
