Abstract


The coset diagrams for PSL(2, ℤ) are composed of fragments, and the fragments are further composed of circuits. Mushtaq has found that, the condition for the existence of a fragment in coset diagram is a polynomial f in ℤ[z]. Higman has conjectured that, the polynomials related to the fragments are monic and for a fixed degree, there are finite number of such polynomials. In this paper, we consider a family Ω of fragments such that each fragment in Ω contains one vertex fixed by a pair of words (xy)q1 (xy−1)q2, (xy−1)s1 (xy)s2 , where s1, s2, q1, q2 ∈ ℤ+, and prove Higman’s conjecture for the polynomials obtained from Ω. At the end, we answer the question; for a fixed degree n, how many polynomials are evolved from Ω.
