Conjecture on directions and the hyperbolic boundary of totally disconnected groups
Conjecture on directions and the hyperbolic boundary of totally disconnected groups
Let be a hyperbolic, totally disconnected, locally compact group. An element has non-trivial scale when its scale is not equal to , and its direction is the corresponding equivalence class used to define the set of directions of . The pseudo-distance is the pseudo-metric on directions associated with this structure.
Directions and boundary conjecture. The map that assigns to each element of non-trivial scale its attracting boundary point defines an injection from the set of directions of into the hyperbolic boundary. Elements of with distinct directions have pseudo-distance .
The conjecture seeks a common extension of the authors' theorem and a result concerning directions in totally disconnected, locally compact groups. Its status is not established in the supplied text.
