The cyclicity conjecture for finite groups from skew-plane configurations

Let L={L,L0,L1,,Lr}PC2n+1\mathcal L=\{L_\infty,L_0,L_1,\dots,L_r\}\subset \mathbb{P}^{2n+1}_{\mathbb C}, with n>1n>1, and let GLG_{\mathcal L} be the associated group generated by the transformations determined by the configuration.

Cyclicity conjecture. If GLG_{\mathcal L} is finite, then GLG_{\mathcal L} 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.
