The elliptic braid-group presentation conjecture

Let RR be an elliptic root system, with underlying affine part RaR_a. Let W~(R)\tilde{W}(R) be its extended Weyl group, let c~\tilde{c} be a hyperbolic Coxeter element satisfying

W~(R)/c~W(R),\tilde{W}(R)/\langle\tilde{c}\rangle \simeq W(R),

and let A~r(Ra)\mathrm{\tilde{A}r}(R_a) denote the group appearing in the affine presentation. Elliptic braid-group presentation conjecture. For every elliptic root system RR,

A~r(Ra)/c~Br(W(R)).\mathrm{\tilde{A}r}(R_a)/\langle\tilde{c}\rangle \simeq \mathrm{Br}(W(R)).

The claim proposes that the presentation phenomenon established in type AA persists for arbitrary elliptic root systems after central evaluation. A conceptual proof is not known, according to the source.
