The normalish subgroup conjecture for Thompson's group
Let be R. Thompson's group, and let a subgroup be normalish when every finite intersection of its distinct conjugates is infinite. An embedded copy of a group means a subgroup isomorphic to that group.
Normalish subgroup conjecture. Every normalish subgroup of contains an embedded copy of R. Thompson's group or an embedded non-abelian free subgroup.
The conjecture is motivated by restrictions on subgroups of that contain neither a copy of nor non-abelian free subgroups, together with Brin's Ubiquity Theorem and a lemma of Bleak, Kassabov, and Moore. The source gives no resolution of this question.
