Transitivity conjecture for the braid-group action on Xγ,δ(2)\mathrm{X}^{(2)}_{\gamma,\delta}

Let B4B_4 be the braid group on four strands, and let Xγ,δ(2)\mathrm{X}^{(2)}_{\gamma,\delta} be the set on which the induced braid-group action is defined. Assume Assumption. Transitivity conjecture. Under this assumption, the action of B4B_4 on Xγ,δ(2)\mathrm{X}^{(2)}_{\gamma,\delta} is transitive. This conjecture is proposed as an ingredient for proving that the alternating quotients have girth tending to infinity; the paper also notes that a weaker statement, that a subset of density tending to 11 lies in one orbit, may suffice.
