Separability conjecture for relatively quasi-convex subgroups of relatively hyperbolic groups

Let GG be a group hyperbolic relative to the peripheral system P={P1,,Pn}\mathcal{P}=\{P_1,\ldots,P_n\}. Suppose that hyperbolic groups are residually finite, and that each PiP_i is finitely generated and virtually nilpotent. A subgroup of GG is relatively quasi-convex if it is relatively quasi-convex with respect to this relatively hyperbolic structure. Separability conjecture. Every relatively quasi-convex subgroup of GG is separable. This would extend the paper's separability results from hyperbolic groups to relatively hyperbolic groups with finitely generated virtually nilpotent peripheral subgroups, assuming residual finiteness of hyperbolic groups; the claim is presented as a natural generalization and its resolution is not given here.
