Kropholler's conjecture on splittings over subgroups of codimension-1 subgroups

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