Linearity and group-theoretic properties of braid and pure braid groups of complex reflection groups

From papers

Let WW be an irreducible complex reflection group, and let BB and PP denote respectively its braid group and pure braid group. Let the properties enumerated in the referenced theorem be the stated linearity and group-theoretic properties of these groups.

Conjecture. The groups BB and PP are linear and satisfy all the properties enumerated in that theorem whenever WW is an irreducible complex reflection group.

The claim extends the corresponding result beyond irreducible Coxeter groups of type ADE. Its status is not determined by the supplied text.
