Property H conjecture for Artin–Tits presentations

About 15 years old · traced to

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