The largest Carnot subgroup conjecture for Markov convexity

Let GG be a graded nilpotent Lie group, and let HH be its largest Carnot subgroup. For p>0p>0, write GG as Markov pp-convex when its metric space satisfies the Markov pp-convexity inequality.

Largest Carnot subgroup conjecture. The set of pp for which GG is Markov pp-convex is the same as the set of pp for which HH is Markov pp-convex.

This conjecture proposes that Markov convexity of a graded nilpotent Lie group is completely determined by its largest Carnot subgroup. The source presents it as an additional conjecture, with no resolution stated.
