Strongly collapsible boundary characterization of rank-one CAT(0) groups

Let GG act geometrically on a CAT(0) space XX. A subset of X\partial_\infty X is strongly collapsible if it has the dynamical collapse property defined earlier in the source.

Strong-collapse rank-one conjecture. The boundary X\partial_\infty X is strongly collapsible if and only if GG has rank one.

The source explains that rank one implies strong collapsibility and that affirming the conjecture would make I(G)\mathcal{I}(G) the only obstruction to rank one. The converse is left as a conjecture.
