On the minimal power of q in a Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomial

Abstract

For w in the symmetric group, we provide an exact formula for the smallest positive power qh(w) appearing in the Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomial Pe,w(q). We also provide a tight upper bound on h(w) in simply-laced types, resolving a conjecture of Billey-Postnikov from 2002.
