The stabilizer conjecture for the sets WlW_l' in three-reflection presentations

Let DnD_n be a dihedral group with cyclic subgroup CnC_n, and let WlW_l' be the subset arising at level ll in the three-reflection presentation construction used in the paper. Denote its stabilizer by

Stab(Wl)={cCn:Wl+c=Wl}.\operatorname{Stab}(W_l')=\{c\in C_n:W_l'+c=W_l'\}.

Stabilizer conjecture. The stabilizer of WlW_l' is always either

{1}orCn.\{1\}\quad\text{or}\quad C_n.

The conjecture is suggested by the proof of the preceding theorem, but the source gives no resolution or further context.
