The Stability Conjecture for generic relator tuples in free groups
The Stability Conjecture for generic relator tuples in free groups
Fix and , and let be the free group of rank . For an -tuple of elements of , write for the corresponding set of relators. The Stability Conjecture. There exists an algorithmically recognizable generic class of -tuples of elements of such that, whenever and satisfy that and have the same normal closure in , one has
The conjecture would extend the paper's rigidity arguments from generic quotients of the modular group to generic quotients of free groups of arbitrary finite rank. The authors report that their computer experiments support it, but no proof or resolution is given here.
