Kropholler's conjecture on splittings over subgroups of codimension-1 subgroups
Let ) be a finitely generated group and let be a subgroup. An -almost invariant subset is -proper if it is not equivalent to either the empty set or modulo finitely many -cosets. Kropholler's conjecture. If contains an -proper -almost invariant subset such that , then admits a nontrivial splitting over a subgroup commensurable with a subgroup of . This generalises Stallings' theorem. The conjecture is known when and are Poincaré duality groups, when is virtually polycyclic, and when is finitely generated and commensurated in , but remains open in general.
