The cactus flower moduli-space homeomorphism conjecture
Let be the cube complex whose cubes are indexed by -labelled cyclic forests, and let be the indicated real locus of the moduli space . Its geometric strata are indexed by the same cyclic forests, with codimension equal to the number of internal edges. Cactus flower homeomorphism conjecture. There is a homeomorphism
such that the cube complex and the geometric stratification are dual complexes. The conjecture identifies the combinatorial compactification encoded by with the real moduli space and its stratification; the supplied text gives no resolution status.
