Kontsevich's K(π,1)K(\pi,1) conjecture for strata of quadratic differentials

Let H\mathcal H and Qg\mathcal Q_g denote the moduli spaces of Abelian and quadratic differentials, respectively, and consider a connected component of a stratum of

HQg.\mathcal H\sqcup\mathcal Q_g.

A group π\pi is commensurable with a mapping class group if it has a finite-index subgroup isomorphic to a finite-index subgroup of that mapping class group. A space is a K(π,1)K(\pi,1) if it is aspherical with fundamental group π\pi. Kontsevich's conjecture. Each connected component of every stratum of the moduli space HQg\mathcal H\sqcup\mathcal Q_g is a K(π,1)K(\pi,1), where π\pi is a group commensurable with some mapping class group. This conjecture concerns the topology of the connected components of strata; the source presents it as a conjecture, while the supplied status is unknown.
