The arithmetic-quotient fundamental-group conjecture for lattice actions

Let GG be a semisimple group whose simple factors have real rank at least 22, let Γ\Gamma be a lattice in GG, and let Γ\Gamma act faithfully and preserving volume on a compact manifold MM. Assume the action is not isometric. The arithmetic-quotient fundamental-group conjecture. The group π1(M)\pi_1(M) should have a finite-index subgroup Λ\Lambda surjecting onto an arithmetic lattice in a Lie group HH such that Aut(H)\operatorname{Aut}(H) locally contains GG. This is an analogue for lattice actions of the fundamental-group conjecture for simple-group actions and remains open.
