Planarity conjecture for alternate-generator origami orbit graphs

From papers

Let nn be a positive integer. Using the generating set {P,R}\{P,R\} for SL(2,Z)\operatorname{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z}), where

P=[0111],R=[0110],P=\begin{bmatrix}0&1\\-1&1\end{bmatrix},\qquad R=\begin{bmatrix}0&-1\\1&0\end{bmatrix},

let Gn\overline{\mathcal{G}}_{n}, GnA\overline{\mathcal{G}}_{n}^{A}, and GnB\overline{\mathcal{G}}_{n}^{B} be the associated orbit graphs. Planarity conjecture. The graphs Gn\overline{\mathcal{G}}_{n}, GnA\overline{\mathcal{G}}_{n}^{A}, and GnB\overline{\mathcal{G}}_{n}^{B} are planar for n7n\leq 7; G9B\overline{\mathcal{G}}_{9}^{B} is planar; and all remaining graphs are non-planar. The conjecture is motivated by the fact that this planarity range exactly agrees with the range for genus-zero components of the Weierstrass curves Wn2W_{n^{2}} given by Mukamel. Planarity for n7n\leq 7 and for G9B\overline{\mathcal{G}}_{9}^{B} is computationally confirmed; the non-planarity of all remaining graphs remains conjectural.
