Conjecture on syndetic conjugates of a Cartan subgroup

About 9 years old · traced to

Let GG be a definably simple group definable in an o-minimal structure M\mathcal{M}. A subset X⊆GX\subseteq G is syndetic if there is a finite set E⊆GE\subseteq G such that XE=GXE=G. For a subgroup H≤GH\leq G, write HGH^G for the union of its conjugates in GG. Cartan subgroup conjugacy conjecture. There is a Cartan subgroup HH of GG such that HGH^G is syndetic in GG. This extends the known example of SL⁡(2,R)\operatorname{SL}(2,\mathbb{R}), where the conjugates of the diagonal Cartan subgroup form a syndetic subset; whether the assertion holds for every definably simple group definable in an o-minimal structure remains open.
