The unfolding theorem for arbitrary fusion rings

Let (W,S)(\mathbb W,S) be a Coxeter system with a geometric RR-realisation over a fusion ring RR, and let (Wˇ,Sˇ)(\check{\mathbb W},\check{S}) be the corresponding unfolded Coxeter system. Let π:SˇS\pi:\check{S}\to S be the partition sending (b,s)(b,s) to ss, and consider the associated homomorphism of fundamental groups from the embedding of regular orbit spaces. Unfolding conjecture. Theorem 5.2.7 holds for all fusion rings RR: the partition π\pi is a strong admissible partition. In particular, the homomorphism of fundamental groups in Theorem 6.4 is always a strong admissible homomorphism associated to a strong admissible folding. This would show that the folding and hyperplane-complement construction does not require categorifiability of the fusion ring; the claim remains open in the source.
