Hamenstädt's quasi-isometric rigidity conjecture for purely real Heintze groups

A purely real Heintze group is a simply connected solvable Lie group of the form NRN\rtimes\mathbf{R}, where NN is simply connected and nilpotent and the action of R\mathbf{R} has only real eigenvalues. Hamenstädt's conjecture. Let HH be a purely real Heintze group. If a purely real Heintze group LL is quasi-isometric to HH, then LL is isomorphic to HH; equivalently, two purely real Heintze groups are quasi-isometric if and only if they are isomorphic. The conjecture is known for abelian groups, groups associated with rank-one symmetric spaces, and groups of Carnot type, but remains open in general.
