Burau's non-linearizability conjecture for even-dimensional webs

Let n2n\geq 2 be even, and let W0,n+3\boldsymbol{\mathcal W}_{0,n+3} be the web by rational curves induced by the forgetful maps on M0,n+3\mathcal M_{0,n+3}. Burau's conjecture. The web W0,n+3\boldsymbol{\mathcal W}_{0,n+3} is not linearizable. The conjecture concerns the apparent parity dichotomy in the properties of these webs; the source gives no resolution beyond the results discussed there.
