Conjecture on exclusion from the sets S^{TFFF}(n) and S^{FFFF}(n)

Let STFFF(n)S^{TFFF}(n) and SFFFF(n)S^{FFFF}(n) be the classes of cyclically presented groups defined in the source, and let Γn(1,n/21)\Gamma_n(1,n/2-1) be the corresponding group. Exclusion conjecture. Let n19n\geq 19.

  1. If n0(mod6)n\equiv 0\pmod 6, then
Γn(1,n/21)STFFF(n).\Gamma_n(1,n/2-1)\notin S^{TFFF}(n).
  1. If n2,4(mod6)n\equiv 2,4\pmod 6, then
Γn(1,n/21)SFFFF(n).\Gamma_n(1,n/2-1)\notin S^{FFFF}(n).

The conjecture is based on GAP experiments comparing abelianisations for n500n\leq 500 and is stated as an answer to whether the group can belong to the indicated classes; no proof or resolution is given.
