The simplicial freeness conjecture for the Brunnian planar braid subgroup
Let be the simplicial group of simplicial pure twin groups, let be the 2-simplex with trivial faces, and let be the smallest simplicial subgroup of containing . Let be the simplicial sphere with non-degenerate 2-simplex , and let be Milnor's free simplicial group on . The simplicial homomorphism
is induced by the simplicial map sending to . The simplicial freeness conjecture. The homomorphism
is an isomorphism. This would identify the simplicial subgroup generated by with Milnor's free simplicial group on the simplicial 2-sphere, extending the verified injectivity in degrees at most and providing a description of the homotopy groups of through the Moore complex of .
