Zimmer's low-dimensional action conjecture

Let n>2n>2, let MM be a manifold, and let ρ:SL(n,Z)Diff(M)\rho:SL(n,\mathbb Z)\to\operatorname{Diff}(M) be a homomorphism. Zimmer's conjecture. The image of ρ\rho is finite when dim(M)<n1\dim(M)<n-1; the same should hold for any lattice Γ\Gamma in SL(n,R)SL(n,\mathbb R). The bound is sharp because SL(n,R)SL(n,\mathbb R) acts on Pn1\mathbb P^{n-1}.
