Twin conjecture for periodic branches of groups of maximal class
Twin conjecture for periodic branches of groups of maximal class
Let and write . For sufficiently large , consider the branch and its pruned subtrees, and call two groups twins if their descendant trees are isomorphic, that is, . The notation denotes the subtree of groups in at depth at most , while denotes the corresponding pruned descendant tree.
Twin conjecture. There exists such that for all and each group at depth in , there exists a twin at depth in .
This conjecture concerns the second periodicity of the graphs of -groups of maximal class beyond the already established first periodicity of their shallow pruned branches. It is described as a main open problem and a driving force of current research.
