Abstract

We show that if a tuple of Euclidean reflections has a finite orbit under the Hurwitz action of the Artin braid group, then the group generated by these reflections is finite. Humphries has published a similar statement but his proof is irremediably flawed. At the same time as correcting his proof, our proof is much simpler that Dubrovin and Mazocco's proof for triples of reflections.
