Zimmer's volume-preserving low-dimensional action conjecture
Zimmer's volume-preserving low-dimensional action conjecture
Let be a semisimple Lie group with property and let be a lattice in . Let be the least dimension of an infinite-image linear representation and the least dimension of a compact homogeneous space through which a lattice action can factor. Assume that acts smoothly on a compact manifold preserving a volume form. Zimmer's volume-preserving conjecture. If , the action is isometric; if additionally or is non-uniform, the action is finite. The conjecture is the volume-preserving form attributed to Zimmer and remains open in this generality.
