Generic uniqueness of the artery in the Handel–Mosher axis bundle
Generic uniqueness of the artery in the Handel–Mosher axis bundle
Let be a free group, let be its outer automorphism group, and let have axis bundle . A reasonable random walk on is a random walk satisfying the hypotheses implicit in the source.
Generic uniqueness conjecture. For a reasonable random walk on , having that has a unique artery is generic.
The claim proposes that the unique-artery property is typical for random walks, consistent with the authors' observation that nongeometric fully irreducible elements are generic in relevant random-walk settings. The precise meaning of “reasonable” and the status of this expectation are not established in the supplied text.
