Lehnert's co-context-free group conjecture

Less than 1 year old · traced to

A finitely generated group GG is co-context-free if its co-word problem is context-free. Thompson's group VV is the group of homeomorphisms represented by finite binary tree-pair diagrams. Lehnert's conjecture. A finitely generated group GG is co-context-free if and only if it embeds in Thompson group VV.

This conjecture proposes an algebraic characterization of groups with context-free co-word problem in terms of embeddability into Thompson's group VV. Its resolution is not supplied in the source, so its status is left open.
