Transitivity of the unipotent subgroup on opposite-ended apartments

About 10 years old · traced to

Let A7=g⋅A7A^7=g\cdot A^7 for some g∈Bi,∞7g\in B_{i,\infty}^7, where A7A^7 is the standard apartment and UiU_i is the corresponding unipotent subgroup. Transitivity conjecture. For each such gg, there exists some u∈Uiu\in U_i such that

u⋅Ag7=A7.u\cdot A_g^7=A^7.

This would describe the action of UiU_i on the apartments based at the relevant end and is used in the paper to derive product decompositions of Bi,∞7B_{i,\infty}^7. The paper gives an attempted proof but identifies an unresolved inductive step, so the conjecture remains open.
