Conjectured intersection property for the constructed generators

Let α\alpha, β\beta, and γ\gamma be the three generators constructed from the elements in the preceding construction, and let α,β,γ\langle\alpha,\beta,\gamma\rangle denote the subgroup they generate. The intersection-property conjecture asserts that the set {α,β,γ}\{\alpha,\beta,\gamma\} satisfies

α,ββ,γ=β.\langle\alpha,\beta\rangle\cap\langle\beta,\gamma\rangle=\langle\beta\rangle.

This property is the remaining group-theoretic condition needed for the constructed generators to define the desired chiral polytope. The paper states the conjecture without computational experiments, and its status is therefore open.
