May 18, 2011 at 20:21 comment added David E Speyer I don't have an answer, but you might want to look into Garside structures math.ucsb.edu/~mccammon/papers/intro-garside.pdf as a way of axiomatizing what properties you might want a splitting to have.

May 18, 2011 at 11:50 comment added James Griffin A curious question, my intuition says that the answer is no, but I think that the question is too open for a negative answer. If you were to look at the group which drops the squaring to the identity, call it BJ_n, then I suspect that the map BJ_n → J_n would 'split', but that's not the answer to your question. Also does this question deserve an operad tag?

May 18, 2011 at 4:53 comment added Noah Snyder Also, if you're interested in quantum symmetrizers and anti-symmetrizers and their relation to the cactus group, then you might want to look at Zwicknagl's papers.
May 18, 2011 at 4:51 comment added Noah Snyder Interesting question! My best guess was to try writing elements of S_n as a product of the generators s_{p,q} from Kamnitzer-Henriques where they generators are "nested" with the largest generators written first. However, a quick count shows that although this works for n=3, for n=4 there are only 22 products of that form so this doesn't work.
