The relative Cannon conjecture

Let (G,P)(G,\mathcal{P}) be a relatively hyperbolic group pair with GG torsion-free. Its Bowditch boundary is denoted by \paB(G,P)\pa_B(G,\mathcal{P}), and MM denotes a finite-volume hyperbolic 33-manifold. The peripheral groups are the groups in P\mathcal{P}.

The relative Cannon conjecture. If

\paB(G,P)S2,\pa_B(G,\mathcal{P})\simeq S^2,

then GG is the fundamental group of MM. Furthermore, the peripheral groups are the fundamental groups of the cusps and totally geodesic boundary components of MM.

This is a relative form of the Cannon conjecture. The paper proves that the Wall conjecture implies this conjecture, but the source does not establish either conjecture itself.
