The stabilizer conjecture for the sets Wl′W_l' in three-reflection presentations

About 1 year old · traced to

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

Stab⁡(Wl′)={c∈Cn:Wl′+c=Wl′}.\operatorname{Stab}(W_l')=\{c\in C_n:W_l'+c=W_l'\}.

Stabilizer conjecture. The stabilizer of Wl′W_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.
