The Hurwitz transitivity conjecture for reduced reflection factorizations

About 22 years old · traced to

Let BB be the braid group associated with a well-generated complex reflection group, let R\mathcal{R} be its set of braid reflections, and let δ\delta be the braid-group analogue of a Coxeter element. Write Red⁡R(δ)\operatorname{Red}_{\mathcal{R}}(\delta) for the reduced factorizations of δ\delta into elements of R\mathcal{R}. Hurwitz transitivity conjecture. The Hurwitz action of BnB_n on Red⁡R(δ)\operatorname{Red}_{\mathcal{R}}(\delta) is transitive. The claim is intended as the braid-group analogue of the known transitivity of the Hurwitz action on reduced reflection factorizations in the reflection group; the paper gives no resolution here.
