Marked-polytope invariance conjecture for nice (2,1)-presentations

Let GG be a group admitting a nice (2,1)(2,1)-presentation π=x,yr\pi=\langle x,y\mid r\rangle, and let MπH1(G;R)\mathcal{M}_\pi\subset H_1(G;\mathbb{R}) be its marked polytope. Two subsets are translates when one is obtained from the other by adding an element of H1(G;R)H_1(G;\mathbb{R}). Marked-polytope invariance conjecture. Up to translation, the marked polytope Mπ\mathcal{M}_\pi is an invariant of GG. The marked polytope is known to be unchanged up to translation under cyclic permutation of the relator, and the conjecture asserts that this is the only indeterminacy; the authors note that no satisfactory theory relates arbitrary (2,1)(2,1)-presentations of the same group.
