“…Automated reasoning has proven effective as a means of providing further understanding of fundamental open mathematical conjectures. Motivated by recent successes in applying Boolean satisfiability (SAT) based techniques in settling various forms of conjectures [20,28,17,27,22,4,5,21,3,2], in this paper we tackle a fundamental open conjecture in the area of geometric group theory [12,13] via a combination of SAT solving [1] and orderly generation [30].…”
