Orbit length conjecture for iterated bridge sums of trees and complete graphs

About 1 year old · traced to

Let G1=(V1,E1),…,Gq=(Vq,Eq)G_1=(V_1,E_1),\ldots,G_q=(V_q,E_q) be graphs on n1,…,nqn_1,\ldots,n_q vertices, respectively, where each GiG_i is either a complete graph or a tree. Form GG by bridge summing G1G_1 with G2G_2, G2G_2 with G3G_3, and so on, at arbitrary vertices. Let V′=V1∪⋯∪VqV'=V_1\cup\cdots\cup V_q and let N=∣V′∣N=|V'|. Iterated bridge-sum orbit-length conjecture. For all such GG, the orbit length of toric promotion on GG is N(N−1)N(N-1). This is known when all the summands are trees, but remains open for arbitrary mixtures of trees and complete graphs.
