Kapovich–Kleiner conjecture for Sierpiński carpet boundaries

Let GG be a hyperbolic group, and let SS be the Sierpiński carpet. Let G\partial G denote the boundary of GG, and let H3\mathbb{H}^3 denote hyperbolic 3-space. Kapovich–Kleiner conjecture. If GS\partial G\cong S, then GG acts geometrically on a convex subset of H3\mathbb{H}^3 bounded by totally geodesic planes. This is a rigidity question for hyperbolic groups with Sierpiński carpet boundary, predicting that such groups arise geometrically from convex co-compact Kleinian actions. Its status is not resolved in the supplied source.
