Weak twist conjecture for Artin generating sets
Weak twist conjecture for Artin generating sets
Let be an Artin system, with defining graphs and associated to Artin generating sets and . For an Artin generating set , let denote the reflection set of , namely the union of the conjugacy classes of the elements of in . Two defining graphs are twist equivalent when they arise from twist equivalent Artin generating sets.
Weak twist conjecture. If is an Artin generating set with , then and are twist equivalent.
The conjecture is a first step toward the question of whether isomorphic Artin groups necessarily arise from twist-equivalent labelled graphs. The analogous conjecture for Coxeter groups has been disproved, while the Artin-group version remains a proposed rigidity statement; the supplied source does not establish its resolution.
