Definable-envelope conjecture for nilpotent and soluble subgroups of NTP2 groups

Let GG be an NTP2\operatorname{NTP}_{2} group and let HH be a subgroup of GG.

Definable-envelope conjecture. If HH is nilpotent (respectively, soluble), then there is a definable nilpotent (respectively, soluble) group finitely many of whose translates cover HH. If HH is additionally normal, then there is a definable normal nilpotent (respectively, soluble) group containing HH.

This conjecture seeks an NTP2\operatorname{NTP}_{2} analogue of definable-envelope results known for groups in NIP\operatorname{NIP} and simple theories. The source presents it as a natural direction for further research, without resolving it.
