Markov Mallows processes with Markovian jumping chains

Let n4n\geq 4. A smooth Mallows process is a process

M=(Mt)t[0,){\mathcal{M}}={({\mathcal{M}}_t)_{t\in[0,\infty)}}

, with jumping process

(M~k)0k(n2).(\widetilde{{\mathcal{M}}}_k)_{0\leq k\leq\binom{n}{2}}.

Let Ta\mathcal{T}^a and T\mathcal{T} denote the graph groups appearing in the source. Markovian-jumping-process conjecture. For every n4n\geq 4, there exist smooth Mallows processes M{\mathcal{M}} such that (Mt)t[0,)({\mathcal{M}}_t)_{t\in[0,\infty)} is a Markov process and (M~k)0k(n2)(\widetilde{{\mathcal{M}}}_k)_{0\leq k\leq\binom{n}{2}} is a Markov chain. Every such process satisfies

TaGMT,\mathcal{T}^a\subsetneq\langle\mathcal{G}_{\mathcal{M}}\rangle\subseteq\mathcal{T},

and there exist such processes with

GMT.\langle\mathcal{G}_{\mathcal{M}}\rangle\subsetneq\mathcal{T}.

The source reports computational evidence for smooth, non-regular examples but gives no proof.
