Divisibility conjecture for surface localization monoids

Let Σ\Sigma be a marked surface, let Δ\Delta be a triangulation, and let AΣ\mathcal{A}_\Sigma be the associated algebra. The natural homomorphism

AΣFrac(QTΔ)\mathcal{A}_\Sigma\to\operatorname{Frac}(\mathbb{Q}\mathbb{T}_\Delta)

comes from the inclusion of QTΔ\mathbb{Q}\mathbb{T}_\Delta into its fraction skew field. Let SΔS_\Delta denote the submonoid of QTΔ{0}\mathbb{Q}\mathbb{T}_\Delta\setminus\{0\} generated by the elements inverted in constructing AΣ\mathcal{A}_\Sigma. Surface localization conjecture. For each Σ\Sigma, this homomorphism is injective; equivalently, the submonoid SΔS_\Delta is divisible in the sense of the source's definition. This would establish that the universal localization embeds in the fraction skew field; the source proposes it without stating a resolution.
