Miasnikov–Ventura–Weil conjecture for free groups of rank greater than two

Let FYF_Y be a free group on the set YY, with subgroups HKFYH\leq K\leq F_Y. For every basis XX of FYF_Y, consider the associated core-graph morphism ΓX(H)ΓX(K)\Gamma_X(H)\to\Gamma_X(K). An extension HKH\leq K is algebraic if it is not contained in any proper free factor of KK.

Rank-greater-than-two conjecture. The original Miasnikov–Ventura–Weil conjecture holds for HKFYH\leq K\leq F_Y whenever Y>2|Y|>2.

The assertion excludes the known counterexample in rank two, but the supplied text does not state whether it has been proved or disproved.
