Three-periodicity conjecture for lower central quotients of the groups Γ_T
Let be one of the groups introduced in Section 4 of the cited source, associated to a prime power with . Let denote the terms of its lower central series. Three-periodicity conjecture. For every ,
This predicts a periodic pattern for the ranks of the lower-central-series abelian quotients of the groups associated with prime powers , excluding to avoid torsion phenomena. The supplied text presents it as an expectation based on computer calculations and gives no resolution.
