Generalized branched-annulus compactification conjecture for Coxeter groups

Let WW be a Coxeter group, let δW\delta\in W be a Coxeter element, and let \normalfont\textscBrW,δm{\normalfont\textsc{Br}}_{W,\delta}^{m} be the bisimplicial complex constructed with algebraic cell labels. Let YWY_W be the orbit configuration space. Generalized compactification conjecture. The bisimplicial complex \normalfont\textscBrW,δm{\normalfont\textsc{Br}}_{W,\delta}^{m} is homotopy equivalent to its interior, which is homeomorphic to YWY_W. For finite WW, this extends the compactification result proved in the symmetric-group case; when WW is infinite, the complex is not compact. The source gives no general resolution status.
