Embedding criterion for right-angled Artin groups in Brin-Thompson groups

Let Γ\Gamma be a finite simplicial graph, and let AΓA_\Gamma be the right-angled Artin group defined by generators corresponding to the vertices of Γ\Gamma, with two generators commuting exactly when the corresponding vertices are adjacent. Let n1n\geq 1, and write nVnV for the nn-dimensional Brin-Thompson group. Embedding criterion. The group AΓA_\Gamma embeds into nVnV if and only if it does not contain Zn+1Z\mathbb{Z}^{n+1}*\mathbb{Z}. This would generalize the known case for n=1n=1, where the only right-angled Artin groups embedding into Thompson's group VV are direct products of free groups; the criterion is presented as open in the source.
