The noncocompact \operatorname{SL}33 arithmetic-subgroup conjecture

Let Γ\Gamma be a noncocompact arithmetic subgroup of either SL(3,R)\operatorname{SL}(3,\mathbb{R}) or SL(3,C)\operatorname{SL}(3,\mathbb{C}). A faithful action on R\mathbb{R} means an action with trivial kernel. The noncocompact SL(3)\operatorname{SL}(3) conjecture. Noncocompact arithmetic subgroups of SL(3,R)\operatorname{SL}(3,\mathbb{R}) and SL(3,C)\operatorname{SL}(3,\mathbb{C}) have no faithful action on R\mathbb{R}. This is identified as a special case that would establish the main conjecture under the additional assumption of noncocompactness. The source gives no resolution.
