The cyclicity conjecture for finite groups from skew-plane configurations
The cyclicity conjecture for finite groups from skew-plane configurations
Let , with , and let be the associated group generated by the transformations determined by the configuration.
Cyclicity conjecture. If is finite, then is cyclic.
Examples in characteristic zero show that several natural non-cyclic candidates, including examples with finite-order generators, nevertheless generate infinite groups. These observations motivate the conjecture that the cyclic case exhausts all finite possibilities.
