Summary:
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){q{1}}(xy{-1}){q{2}}, (xy{-1}){s{1}}(xy){s{2}},
where s{1}, s{2}, q{1}, q{2} ∈ 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.
