Finite-order injectivity conjecture for inverse semigroups

Let SS be an inverse semigroup, let αAut(S)\alpha\in\operatorname{Aut}(S) have finite order, and suppose that the map

xx1xαx\mapsto x^{-1}\cdot x\alpha

is injective. Here E(S)E(S) denotes the set of idempotents of SS, and Fix(α)\operatorname{Fix}(\alpha) denotes the set of elements fixed by α\alpha.

Finite-order injectivity conjecture. Then

Fix(α)=E(S).\operatorname{Fix}(\alpha)=E(S).

The general injectivity problem asks whether this equality follows without the finite-order hypothesis; the paper reports computational evidence affirming it when α\alpha has finite order.
