Weak uniform discreteness conjecture for positive-characteristic simple groups

Let kk be a local field of positive characteristic, let G{\mathbb G} be a simply connected absolutely almost simple kk-group with positive kk-rank, and let G=G(k)G={\mathbb G}(k) be the group of kk-rational points. A space of discrete invariant random subgroups is weakly uniformly discrete if, for every ϵ>0\epsilon>0, there is an identity neighbourhood UGU\subset G such that every μDIRS(G)\mu\in\operatorname{DIRS}(G) satisfies

μ({ΓSub(G):ΓU={1}})>1ϵ.\mu\bigl(\{\Gamma\in\operatorname{Sub}(G):\Gamma\cap U=\{1\}\}\bigr)>1-\epsilon.

Weak uniform discreteness conjecture. The space DIRS(G)\operatorname{DIRS}(G) is weakly uniformly discrete. The statement extends weak uniform discreteness beyond the no-discrete-small-subgroups setting discussed earlier in the paper; the source provides no resolution.
