The smooth-volume-preservation conjecture for generic random groups
Let be a group that is generic in an appropriate model for random groups, let be a compact manifold, and consider an action of on . A smooth volume form is a nowhere-vanishing smooth top-degree differential form on . Smooth-volume-preservation conjecture. Any action of a generic group on a compact manifold preserves a smooth volume form. This is proposed as a concrete statement that would reduce Gromov's conjecture to the paper's main theorem. The appropriate model for random groups is not specified, and the conjecture remains open in the source.
