Isomorphism conjecture for torus-link and circular-group presentations

Let n,mNn,m\in\mathbb{N}^* and let dd be the index set used for the generators mim_i and aia_i in the torus-link and circular-group presentations. Consider the group with Presentation

andthegroupwithPresentationand the group with Presentation

. Define a morphism by

xa1am,ya1an,miai(i[d]).x\longmapsto a_1\cdots a_m,\qquad y\longmapsto a_1\cdots a_n,\qquad m_i\longmapsto a_i\quad(i\in[d]).

Torus-link/circular-group isomorphism conjecture. For all n,mNn,m\in\mathbb{N}^*, this morphism is an isomorphism. The claim generalises the previously established coprime case; the supplied text notes that an inverse is not known from the presentations, although the torus-link presentation is already known there to define a group isomorphic to G(n,m)G(n,m).
