Laver's well-order conjecture for Hurwitz-action domains
Laver's well-order conjecture for Hurwitz-action domains
Let be a left-cancellative LD-system, let be the braid group on strands, and let be the domain of the partial Hurwitz action on a sequence . A free LD-system is an LD-system freely generated by its specified generators. Laver's conjecture. If is a free LD-system, the restriction of the D-ordering to every family of the form is a well-order. This extends Laver's well-order result for positive braids; the conjecture remains open when has length or more.
