The pure twin group right-angled Artin group conjecture

Let TnT_n be the twin group, and let PTnPT_n be its pure subgroup, defined as the kernel of the natural surjection TnSnT_n\to S_n given by siτis_i\mapsto\tau_i. A right-angled Artin group is a group admitting a presentation whose defining relations are commutators between selected pairs of generators.

Pure twin group conjecture. PTnPT_n is a right-angled Artin group for each n3n\geq 3.

The claim is known for n=3,4,5n=3,4,5, while PT6PT_6 is also known to be a right-angled Artin group through its description as a free product of F71F_{71} and 20 copies of ZZ\mathbb{Z}\oplus\mathbb{Z}. The status for n7n\geq 7 remains open.
