Tame reduction to the trivial multifraction for Artin-Tits monoids

About 10 years old · traced to

Let MM be an Artin–Tits monoid, let FM\mathcal{F}_{M} be the set of multifractions over MM, and let red⁡t\operatorname{red}_{\mathrm{t}} denote tame reduction. A multifraction is unital if it represents the identity in the enveloping group of MM, and 1‾\underline{1} denotes the trivial multifraction. Tame-reduction conjecture. For every unital multifraction a‾∈FM\underline{a}\in\mathcal{F}_{M}, one has

red⁡t(a‾)=1‾.\operatorname{red}_{\mathrm{t}}(\underline{a})=\underline{1}.

This conjecture concerns a weaker, restricted reduction procedure. The supplied text reports that no counterexample had been found for Artin–Tits monoids, but the conjecture is not marked as resolved.
