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 displayed relations do not coincide with the homogeneous part of the Broué–Malle–Rouquier presentation for , although the relations involving coincide with those for the braid group of . One of the three displayed relations is redundant.
