The weak virtual periodicity conjecture for maximal coclass trees

Let rN0r\in\mathbb N_0 and let KK be an arbitrary field. For an algebra AA in Gr,K\mathcal G_{r,K}, write T(A)\mathcal T(A) for the rooted subgraph consisting of all paths starting at AA. A maximal coclass tree is a coclass tree containing a unique maximal infinite path and satisfying the maximality condition from the source. Let T\mathcal T be such a tree, with maximal infinite path A1A2A_1\to A_2\to\cdots, and let T(A)\overline{\mathcal T}(A) denote its unlabelled version rooted at AA. Weak virtual periodicity conjecture. There exist positive integers ll and kk such that

T(Al)T(Al+k).\overline{\mathcal T}(A_l)\cong\overline{\mathcal T}(A_{l+k}).

This conjecture predicts eventual periodicity of the unlabelled maximal coclass trees and would imply finite width. Its resolution is not supplied here.
