Non-embeddability conjecture for right-angled Artin groups of tripod trees

Let Tp,q,rT_{p,q,r} be the tree with three arms of lengths pp, qq, and rr, and let PnP_n be the path graph on nn vertices. Write G(p,q,r])G(_{p,q,r}]) and G(Pn)G(P_n) for the associated right-angled Artin groups.

Non-embeddability conjecture. If p,q,rp,q,r are large enough, then G(Tp,q,r)G(T_{p,q,r}) does not embed into G(Pn)G(P_n) for any nn.

This proposes a limitation on the family of path graphs as a universal family for right-angled Artin groups. The source does not specify a threshold for “large enough” or provide evidence of a resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
