The finite-group or monomiality conjecture for group-type braided vector spaces

Let (V,c)(V,c) be a group-type braided vector space (BVS), meaning a braided vector space of the group-type form developed in the paper. Assume that cc is unitary and has finite order, and let G=giG=\langle g_i\rangle be the group generated by the associated elements gig_i. A basis is monomial for cc when the matrix of cc in that basis has exactly one nonzero entry in each relevant row and column.

Finite-group or monomiality conjecture. Either GG is finite, or there is a basis with respect to which cc is monomial.

This is presented as a stricter conjecture in the group-type, finite-order setting, motivated by the broader conjecture on images of unitary braided-vector-space braid representations. The supplied text gives no resolution status.
