Kropholler–Roller conjecture on splittings from 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–Roller conjecture. If GG contains an HH-proper HH-almost invariant subset AA such that HAH=AHAH=A, then GG admits a nontrivial splitting over a subgroup commensurable with a subgroup of HH. This strengthens Kropholler's formulation by requiring both left and right HH-invariance. It is presented as open in the source; the paper discusses results under Poincaré duality, virtual polycyclicity, and commensuration hypotheses.
