The Rauzy-class decomposition conjecture for extended Rauzy classes

Let cmathfrakRexcmathfrak{R}_{ex} be an extended Rauzy class representing a connected component of a stratum cmathcalQ(d1,cldots,dm)cmathcal{Q}(d_1,cldots,d_m) or cmathcalH(d1,cldots,dm)cmathcal{H}(d_1,cldots,d_m), allowing di=1d_i=-1 in the quadratic-differential stratum to represent a simple pole. Let kk be the number of pairwise distinct entries in cd1,cldots,dmc{d_1,cldots,d_m}.

Rauzy-class decomposition conjecture. The extended Rauzy class cmathfrakRexcmathfrak{R}_{ex} is a disjoint union of exactly kk nonempty Rauzy classes.

This predicts the precise number of Rauzy classes contained in an extended Rauzy class associated with a connected component of an Abelian- or quadratic-differential stratum. The supplied text gives no evidence of a resolution.
