Containment of the amenable radical in random-walk stabilizers

Let GG be a finitely generated group, and let Aμ\boldsymbol{A_\mu} be the subgroup associated with a symmetric, aperiodic probability measure μ\mu on GG whose support generates GG. The amenable radical is the largest amenable normal subgroup of GG. Amenable-radical containment conjecture. For every such measure μ\mu, the subgroup AμA_\mu contains the amenable radical of GG. This would establish that the subgroup detected by the random walk always contains the canonical amenable normal part of the group; the supplied text does not state whether the conjecture is known or remains open.
