The thin elements conjecture for formal globular and branching complexes

Let C\mathcal{C} be a strict non-contracting globular ω\omega-category. Let CFglC F^{gl} be its formal globular complex and CF±C F^{\pm} its formal branching and merging complexes, while CRglC R^{gl} and CR±C R^{\pm} are the corresponding reduced complexes. The formal thin elements conjecture. The folding operators of the globular nerve and of the branching/merging semi-cubical nerves induce quasi-isomorphisms

CFgl(C)CRgl(C)C F^{gl}(\mathcal{C})\rightarrow C R^{gl}(\mathcal{C})

and

CF±(C)CR±(C)C F^{\pm}(\mathcal{C})\rightarrow C R^{\pm}(\mathcal{C})

for any strict non-contracting globular ω\omega-category C\mathcal{C}. The source notes that the folding operators are already known to be onto, and conjectures that they also induce quasi-isomorphisms; no resolution status is supplied.
