Balogh–Tyson conjecture on polarizable Carnot groups

Let G\mathbb{G} be a Carnot group of homogeneous dimension Q3Q\geq 3, and let uu be Folland's fundamental solution for the sub-Laplacian. The group is polarizable if u1/(2Q)u^{1/(2-Q)} is infinity-harmonic away from the identity. A nascent H-type group is a step two Carnot group whose horizontal metric admits a compatible vertical metric making the resulting metric Lie algebra H-type. Balogh–Tyson's conjecture. If G\mathbb{G} is polarizable, then G\mathbb{G} has step two and is a nascent H-type group. The conjecture extends the known fact that H-type groups are polarizable and would characterize the polarizable groups, but the source gives no resolution.
