Bardakov–Iskra conjecture on horizontal class transposition groups

From papers

Let n>1n>1. For each m{2,3,,n}m\in\{2,3,\ldots,n\}, let CTmCT_m be the group generated by all horizontal class transpositions τr1(m),r2(m)\tau_{r_1(m),r_2(m)}, and define

CT(n)=CT2,CT3,,CTn.CT_{(n)}=\langle CT_2,CT_3,\ldots,CT_n\rangle.

Let N=lcm(2,3,,n)N=\operatorname{lcm}(2,3,\ldots,n). Bardakov–Iskra conjecture. For n>3n>3, the group CT(n)CT_{(n)} is isomorphic to the symmetric group SNS_N.

This conjecture concerns the finite groups generated by horizontal class transpositions and was proposed by Bardakov and Iskra; it is recorded as Problem 21.8 in the cited source. Its resolution is not established in the supplied text.
