The free multiplicative convolution conjecture for graph wreath products

Let XX and YY be colored graphs. Write XYX*Y for the colored graph obtained by putting a copy of XX at each vertex of YY, let μ(Z)\mu(Z) denote the spectral measure of the character of the algebra A(Z)A(Z) associated to a graph ZZ, and let \boxtimes denote Voiculescu's free multiplicative convolution. Free multiplicative convolution conjecture. The spectral measures satisfy

μ(XY)=μ(X)μ(Y).\mu(X*Y)=\mu(X)\boxtimes\mu(Y).

This conjecture concerns the behavior of character spectral measures under the graph operation XYX*Y and is presented as evidence-based work on analogues of spectral-measure formulae for quantum permutation groups; its resolution is not given in the source.
