The conjectural braid-group presentation for the complex reflection group
The conjectural braid-group presentation for the complex reflection group
Let be the complex reflection group, and let denote the generators in the proposed braid-group presentation. The notation denotes the group generated by these elements subject to the displayed relations.
The braid-group conjecture. The braid group associated with admits the presentation
These relations imply that is central.
The source describes this as confirming a conjectural presentation of Broué, Malle, and Rouquier, with computational evidence behind the proposed presentation. The group is four-dimensional but requires at least five generating reflections.
