The non-discrete two-boundary-point stabiliser conjecture

Let TT be a locally finite tree and let GAut(T)G\leq\operatorname{Aut}(T) be closed, non-compact, and boundary-transitive. For distinct boundary points ξ,ξT\xi,\xi'\in\partial T, write Gξ,ξG_{\xi,\xi'} for their common stabiliser. Non-discrete stabiliser conjecture. The stabiliser Gξ,ξG_{\xi,\xi'} is not discrete. This is the original formulation of the conjecture; the paper relates it to the boundary-Moufang formulation below via a lemma showing that a discrete stabiliser forces the boundary-Moufang property.
