The pure-centralizer conjecture for minimal-support elements in Artin groups

Let BB be an Artin group with standard generating set S{\mathbf S}, let bB{\mathbf b}\in B have minimal length in its conjugacy class, and let \supp(b)\supp({\mathbf b}) denote its support. Let PP be the pure subgroup and let \bpiI:PBI\bpi_I:P\to B_I be the retraction to the standard parabolic subgroup BIB_I. Pure-centralizer conjecture. If pP{\mathbf p}\in P centralises b{\mathbf b} and

\bpi\supp(b)(p)=1,\bpi_{\supp({\mathbf b})}({\mathbf p})=1,

then p{\mathbf p} centralises B\supp(b)B_{\supp({\mathbf b})}. This conjecture is presented as a generalisation of an earlier proposition and is related to uniqueness of minimal parabolic subgroups; the source does not state that it has been resolved.
