Gardner's measurable equidecomposition conjecture
Let be bounded measurable sets, and let be a set of isometries of . The sets and are -equidecomposable if they admit finite partitions whose corresponding pieces are related by elements of . Assume that generates an amenable group. Gardner's conjecture. If and are -equidecomposable, then they admit a measurable equidecomposition by isometries. This conjecture concerns when the Hall condition for equidecomposition can be realized with Lebesgue-measurable pieces. The paper's abstract states that Cieśla and Sabok asked whether the isometries could be restricted to the group generated by , and that the paper answers this question negatively; the original Gardner conjecture is not resolved by the supplied text.

Gardner's measurable equidecomposition conjecture
Let be bounded measurable sets, and let be an amenable group of isometries. Two sets are -equidecomposable if they admit finite partitions whose corresponding pieces are mapped to one another by elements of ; an equidecomposition is measurable if all partition pieces are measurable. Gardner's conjecture. If and are -equidecomposable, then they admit a measurable equidecomposition. This conjecture asks when equidecompositions by amenable groups can be realized measurably; the paper studies this question and proves a characterization for amenable groups in terms of finite-subgroup quotients, while the general formulation here is presented as Gardner's conjecture.
