The subgroup membership conjecture for the groups B(P3,k)B(P_{3,k})

From papers

For each integer k2k\geq 2, let

B(P3,k)=Gpa,b,c[a,bk]=1,[a,c]=1.B(P_{3,k})=\operatorname{Gp}\langle a,b,c\mid [a,b^k]=1,[a,c]=1\rangle.

The subgroup membership conjecture for B(P3,k)B(P_{3,k}). The subgroup membership problem is decidable in B(P3,k)B(P_{3,k}) for every k2k\geq 2. The subgroup membership problem is known to be undecidable for related groups such as B(P3,k)B(P_{3,k})'s submonoid membership problem when k2k\geq 2, while decidability of subgroup membership here is presented as an open problem motivated by the absence of an embedded subgroup isomorphic to F2×F2F_2\times F_2.
