Property H conjecture for Artin–Tits presentations

Let (S,R)(S,R) be a positive presentation, let W(S)\mathcal{W}(S) be its words, and write SR\langle S\mid R\rangle for the presented group. A positive presentation (S,R)(S,R) satisfies Property HH if every word wW(S)w\in\mathcal{W}(S) representing 11 in SR\langle S\mid R\rangle satisfies

Property H conjecture. Every Artin–Tits presentation satisfies Property HH. The conjecture asks whether transformations of type \infty are unnecessary for reducing every word representing the identity to the empty word. It is the central question addressed by the paper; the supplied source does not indicate whether it has been resolved.
