The quasi-center conjecture for zigzag 6-cycles in type DnD_n Artin complexes

Let Λ\Lambda be the Dynkin diagram of type DnD_n, and let ΔΛ\Delta_\Lambda be its associated Artin complex. Order the vertex types by {δ^1,δ^2}<δ^3<δ^4<<δ^n\{\hat\delta_1,\hat\delta_2\}<\hat\delta_3<\hat\delta_4<\cdots<\hat\delta_n, with δ^1\hat\delta_1 and δ^2\hat\delta_2 incomparable. A 6-cycle is admissible if consecutive vertex types are comparable; a vertex is a local maximum or minimum according to this order, and a zigzag 6-cycle is an admissible 6-cycle whose vertices alternate between local maxima and local minima. Quasi-center conjecture. Every zigzag 6-cycle ω\omega in ΔΛ\Delta_\Lambda has a quasi-center adjacent to each local maximum vertex of ω\omega. This conjecture is formulated as part of the proposed approach to the K(π,1)K(\pi,1) conjecture and is known in the source for type DnD_n Artin groups with n=3,4n=3,4, while the general case remains open.
