The classification conjecture for strongly hereditarily self-similar pro-p groups

About 6 years old · traced to

Let pp be a prime, and let GG be a torsion-free pp-adic analytic pro-pp group of dimension dd. Suppose that p>dp>d. A group is strongly hereditarily self-similar of index pp when every open subgroup has a self-similar action of index pp in the strong sense used in the paper.

Classification conjecture. GG is strongly hereditarily self-similar of index pp if and only if GG is isomorphic to

Zpd\mathbb{Z}_p^d

for d⩾1d\geqslant 1, or to Gd(s)G^d(s) for d⩾2d\geqslant 2 and some integer s⩾1s\geqslant 1.

The statement extends the three-dimensional classification beyond the solvable case and to higher dimensions. The supplied text gives no resolution, so its status remains open.
