The Hecke-commensurator conjecture for triangle groups

About 8 years old · traced to

Let Γ\Gamma be a discrete triangle group of type (m1,m2,∞)(m_1,m_2,\infty), and let G=GL(2,C)G={\rm GL}(2,\mathbb{C}). Define

C(Γ):={g∈G ∣ ∣Γ\ΓgΓ∣<∞}.C(\Gamma):=\left\{g\in G\ \Big|\ |\Gamma\backslash \Gamma g\Gamma|<\infty\right\}.

Let Z(G)≅C∗Z(G)\cong \mathbb{C}^* be the group of scalar matrices. The Hecke-commensurator conjecture. For a triangle group Γ\Gamma of type (m1,m2,∞)(m_1,m_2,\infty), one has

C(Γ)≠Z(G)⋅ΓC(\Gamma)\not=Z(G)\cdot \Gamma

if and only if Γ\Gamma is arithmetic.

This conjecture characterizes arithmetic triangle groups through the size of the associated Hecke correspondence semigroup: non-scalar double-coset elements should occur exactly in the arithmetic case. The source gives no resolution or partial result for the claim.
