Anosov combination conjecture

Let GG be the ambient group, let PτmodP_{{\tau_{\mathrm{mod}}}} be the parabolic subgroup associated with the face type τmod\tau_{\mathrm{mod}}, and let A1,,AnFlag(τmod)A_1,\ldots,A_n\subset \mathrm{Flag}\left(\tau_{\mathrm{mod}}\right) be nonempty compact subsets. Assume that any two distinct elements of

A:=i=1nAiA:=\bigcup_{i=1}^n A_i

are antipodal. For each ii, let Γi\Gamma_i be a subgroup of GG.

Anosov combination conjecture. If each Γi\Gamma_i is PτmodP_{{\tau_{\mathrm{mod}}}}-Anosov and, for every i=1,,ni=1,\ldots,n and every γΓi{1}\gamma\in\Gamma_i-\{1\},

γ(AAi)int(Ai),\gamma\left(A-A_i\right)\subset \operatorname{int}\left(A_i\right),

then the subgroup Γ\Gamma of GG generated by Γ1,,Γn\Gamma_1,\ldots,\Gamma_n is PτmodP_{{\tau_{\mathrm{mod}}}}-Anosov.

This is a proposed combination theorem for Anosov subgroups in the spirit of classical Klein--Maskit combination theorems and quantitative ping-pong arguments. Unlike the preceding theorem in the paper, it is stated without passing to finite-index subgroups and uses antipodal compact subsets of the flag variety as the dynamical domains. The supplied text gives no resolution, so the conjecture is recorded as open.
