Lattice conjecture for prefixes of a braid Coxeter element

From papers

Let BB be the associated braid group, let RR be its set of braid reflections, and let B+B_+ be the submonoid of BB generated by RR. Define a relation \preccurlyeq on B+B_+ by

bbb1bB+.b\preccurlyeq b'\quad\Longleftrightarrow\quad b^{-1}b'\in B_+.

For bB+b\in B_+, set

Pb:={bB+bb}.P_b:=\{b'\in B_+\mid b'\preccurlyeq b\}.

A braid Coxeter element is an element of BB as defined in the preceding setup. Lattice conjecture. There exists a braid Coxeter element gBg\in B satisfying the reduced-decomposition conjecture and such that (Pg,)(P_g,\preccurlyeq) is a lattice. This conjecture is intended to provide the key lattice property needed for the associated monoid to be quasi-Garside; its validity remains open in the general settings considered.
