Zimmer's generalized low-dimensional action conjecture

Let GG be a semisimple Lie group with property (T)(T) and let Γ\Gamma be a lattice in GG. Define dd as the least dimension of an infinite-image linear representation of Γ\Gamma, define nn as the least dimension of a homogeneous space K/CK/C on which Γ\Gamma can act through a compact group, and set b=min{n,d}b=\min\{n,d\}. Zimmer's generalized low-dimensional action conjecture. If MM is a manifold with dim(M)<b1\dim(M)<b-1, every Γ\Gamma action on MM should be trivial. This is a broad form of Zimmer's conjecture, including lattices in groups such as Sp(1,n)Sp(1,n) and F420F_4^{-20}; it remains open.
