Finiteness-property conjecture for commutator subgroups of thick buildings

Let dNd \in \mathbb{N} and let (\Delta_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}) be a sequence of finite dd-dimensional buildings whose thickness satisfies

th(Δn)\operatorname{th}(\Delta_n) \rightarrow \infty

as nn \rightarrow \infty. For each building Δn\Delta_n, let WΔnW_{\Delta_n} be its right-angled Coxeter group and let WΔnW_{\Delta_n}' be the commutator subgroup. The finiteness-property conjecture. Then, for all but finitely many nn, there is a kernel of a map

WΔnZW_{\Delta_n}'\to\mathbb{Z}

that is of type Fd\operatorname{F}_d but not of type FPd+1\operatorname{FP}_{d+1}. This would give groups arising from sufficiently thick buildings with a sharp gap between finiteness properties Fd\operatorname{F}_d and FPd+1\operatorname{FP}_{d+1}. The statement is presented as expected from the preceding spherical-subcomplex conjecture and is not resolved in the source.
