Semialgebraic structure conjecture for equal-volume Dehn fillings

Let M\mathcal{M} be a 11-cusped hyperbolic 33-manifold with volume function ΘM(x,y)\Theta_{\mathcal{M}}(x,y), and let Z\mathcal{Z} be the analytic variety defined by

ΘM(x,y)=ΘM(z,w).\Theta_{\mathcal{M}}(x,y)=\Theta_{\mathcal{M}}(z,w).

Let QM(x,y)Q_{\mathcal{M}}(x,y) denote the quadratic form associated with the cusp of M\mathcal{M}. Semialgebraic structure conjecture. Every semialgebraic subset of Z\mathcal{Z} is contained in

z=ax+by,w=cx+dyz=ax+by,\qquad w=cx+dy

for some a,b,c,dZa,b,c,d\in\mathbb{Z} satisfying

QM(x,y)=QM(ax+by,cx+dy).Q_{\mathcal{M}}(x,y)=Q_{\mathcal{M}}(ax+by,cx+dy).

This conjecture describes the semialgebraic loci responsible for coincidences among volumes of Dehn fillings. Together with the Pila–Wilkie theorem and the finiteness of the relevant integer quadruples, it is intended to control equal-volume fillings, but no proof is given here.
