The connection-blocking conjecture for homogeneous spaces

Let GG be a connected Lie group and let ΓG\Gamma \subset G be a lattice. Set M=G/ΓM=G/\Gamma. The connection curves of MM are the orbits of one-parameter subgroups of GG. The space MM is blockable if every pair of points can be blocked by a finite set disjoint from the pair.

Connection-blocking conjecture. The space MM is blockable if and only if

G=\mathdsRn,G=\mathds{R}^n,

i.e., if and only if MM is a torus.

This is the homogeneous-space counterpart of the security conjecture for closed Riemannian manifolds. The paper proves that all quotients of SolSol are non-blockable, but the stated characterization for general connected Lie groups with lattices remains open.
