Isometric dimension conjecture for braid graphs of reduced expressions

Let (W,S)(W,S) be a simply-laced triangle-free Coxeter system, and let α{\boldsymbol{\alpha}} be a reduced expression with link factorization

α1α2αk.{\boldsymbol{\alpha}}_1\mid {\boldsymbol{\alpha}}_2\mid\cdots\mid {\boldsymbol{\alpha}}_k.

Write B(α)B({\boldsymbol{\alpha}}) for its braid graph, let dimI\dim_I denote isometric dimension, and let rank(αi)\operatorname{rank}({\boldsymbol{\alpha}}_i) denote the rank of each link factor.

Reduced-expression isometric-dimension conjecture.

dimI(B(α))=i=1krank(αi).\dim_I(B({\boldsymbol{\alpha}}))=\sum_{i=1}^k\operatorname{rank}({\boldsymbol{\alpha}}_i).

This conjecture is presented as a consequence of the link dimension conjecture together with the product decomposition of braid graphs; it remains conditional and unproved in the supplied text.
