The coarse filling conjecture for S-arithmetic groups
Let ) be a global field, meaning a global function field or a number field. Let be an absolutely almost simple -isotropic -group, let be a non-empty finite set of places of containing all archimedean ones, and let . A coarse -manifold in a metric space is a function from the vertices of a triangulated -manifold into that metric space; its boundary, scale, volume, and topological type are defined as in the setup above. Coarse filling conjecture. For every , there exist a linear polynomial and such that, whenever is a coarse -manifold of scale with , there is a coarse -manifold of scale and identical topological type such that and
If true, this would give another proof of the rank theorem for -arithmetic groups, and it concerns filling properties below the rank threshold. The source does not provide evidence resolving the conjecture.
