Koszulness conjecture for the cohomology algebra of the real moduli space

Let MnM_n denote the real locus of the moduli space of stable genus-zero curves with nn marked points, and let Λn=H(Mn,Q)\Lambda_n=H^*(M_n,\mathbb{Q}). Let Un=Λn!QU_n=\Lambda_n^!\otimes\mathbb{Q} be its quadratic dual, with Hilbert series Pn!(t)P_n^!(t). Koszulness conjecture. The algebra ΛnQ\Lambda_n\otimes\mathbb{Q}, equivalently UnQU_n\otimes\mathbb{Q}, is Koszul. In particular,

Pn!(t)=1Pn(t)=0k<(n3)/2(1(n32k)2t)1.P_n^!(t)=\frac{1}{P_n(-t)}=\prod_{0\le k<(n-3)/2}(1-(n-3-2k)^2t)^{-1}.

This is known for n6n\leq 6, and the Hilbert-series formula has been verified computationally in degree 33 for n9n\leq 9; the general conjecture remains open.
