The residual torsion-free nilpotence conjecture for pure braid groups of reflection arrangements

Let WGLn(C)W\subset \mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{C}) be a finite pseudo-reflection group, and let A\mathcal{A} be the corresponding hyperplane arrangement in Cn\mathbb{C}^n. Consider the fundamental group of the arrangement complement.

Residual torsion-free nilpotence conjecture. The fundamental group of the complement

CnA\mathbb{C}^n\setminus\bigcup \mathcal{A}

is residually torsion-free nilpotent.

For the arrangement complement, this fundamental group is the pure braid group associated with WW. The claim would extend residual torsion-free nilpotence beyond the cases discussed as known in the source, and its resolution is not given.
