Oct 10, 2010 at 19:46 comment added Jim Conant Yeah, I agree it's probably a hard question.
Oct 10, 2010 at 15:40 comment added Daniel Moskovich corrected- thanks. I don't have any ideas on how the extra geometric content might be used.

Oct 10, 2010 at 13:34 comment added Jim Conant I assume you mean the lower central series of the Torelli group here. I agree that an example such as you describe would be n-trivial for all $n$. But I was hoping that the extra geometric content of $\omega$-triviality would make this an easier question to tackle than the obviously difficult question of whether a knot could be $n$-trivial for all $n$.
