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 phrase “relations of ” refers to the relations in the preceding proposed presentation for , and 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 proposed presentation extends the preceding one for by adjoining the generator and the displayed relations. The source presents it as conjectural and gives no resolution beyond the stated structural relation.
