Bruce Hunt's hybrid construction conjecture for nonarithmetic lattices

From papers

For every n2n\ge 2, consider arithmetic lattices Γ1,Γ2<SU(n1,1)\Gamma_1,\Gamma_2<\operatorname{SU}(n-1,1) and Γ3<SU(n2,1)\Gamma_3<\operatorname{SU}(n-2,1). Suppose Γ3\Gamma_3 is isomorphic to subgroups of both Γ1\Gamma_1 and Γ2\Gamma_2, and form the amalgamated product Γ0=Γ1Γ3Γ2\Gamma_0=\Gamma_1\star_{\Gamma_3}\Gamma_2. Bruce Hunt's hybrid construction conjecture. There exist such lattices and an epimorphism ρ:Γ0Γ<SU(n,1)\rho:\Gamma_0\to\Gamma<\operatorname{SU}(n,1) that is injective on Γ1\Gamma_1 and Γ2\Gamma_2, with image a nonarithmetic lattice Γ<SU(n,1)\Gamma<\operatorname{SU}(n,1). By analogy with the Gromov--Piatetski-Shapiro construction, this proposes a hybrid construction in complex hyperbolic geometry; the source notes that ρ\rho cannot be injective on all of Γ0\Gamma_0.
