The rank-one quasi-isometry classification conjecture for function-field arithmetic groups

At least 15 years old · documented by

Let KK be a global function field, let SS be a nonempty set of valuations of KK, and let G\mathbf{G} be a connected, absolutely simple, KK-isotropic algebraic KK-group of adjoint type. For each v∈Sv\in S, write KvK_v for the completion of KK at vv, set GS=∏v∈SG(Kv)G_S=\prod_{v\in S}\mathbf{G}(K_v), and let G(OS)\mathbf{G}(\mathcal{O}_S) be embedded diagonally as a discrete subgroup of GSG_S. The group QI(G(OS))\mathcal{QI}(\mathbf{G}(\mathcal{O}_S)) denotes its quasi-isometry group, and Comm⁡Aut⁡(GS)(G(OS))\operatorname{Comm}_{\operatorname{Aut}(G_S)}(\mathbf{G}(\mathcal{O}_S)) denotes the group of topological automorphisms of GSG_S that commensurate G(OS)\mathbf{G}(\mathcal{O}_S). The rank-one quasi-isometry classification conjecture. If

rank⁡Kv(G)=1for all v∈S,∣S∣>1,\operatorname{rank}_{K_v}(\mathbf{G})=1\quad\text{for all }v\in S,\qquad |S|>1,

then there is an isomorphism

QI(G(OS))≅Comm⁡Aut⁡(GS)(G(OS)).\mathcal{QI}(\mathbf{G}(\mathcal{O}_S))\cong \operatorname{Comm}_{\operatorname{Aut}(G_S)}(\mathbf{G}(\mathcal{O}_S)).

The paper says that, after the higher-rank and mixed-rank cases, this reduces the remaining problem to lattice actions on products of trees. Thus this rank-one case remains open in the source.
