Hrushovski's nilpotent control conjecture for approximate subgroups of special linear groups

About 17 years old · traced to

Let A⊆SL⁡n(C)A\subseteq \operatorname{SL}_n(\mathbb{C}) be a KK-approximate group, and say that a set BB K′K'-controls AA when the source's approximate-group control relation holds. Hrushovski's conjecture. There is a K′K'-approximate group BB which is nilpotent and K′K'-controls AA, where K′K' depends only on KK.

The statement is presented as a consequence expected from Hrushovski's model-theoretic work together with structure theory of algebraic groups. The source does not provide a resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
