The Unreasonable Slightness Conjecture for elementary matrix groups
The Unreasonable Slightness Conjecture for elementary matrix groups
Let , , or . Let be either an imaginary quadratic field when , a rational definite quaternion algebra equipped with an orthogonal involution when , or a rational definite quaternion algebra when . Let be a maximal order (or -order) of . Let be when and when . Let be the subgroup generated by upper and lower triangular matrices. The amended Unreasonable Slightness Conjecture. Exactly one of the following holds:
- is norm-Euclidean (or norm -Euclidean when ) and .
- is not Euclidean (or -Euclidean when ) and is an infinite-index, non-normal subgroup of .
This conjecture predicts a sharp dichotomy between Euclidean orders, for which elementary matrices generate the relevant arithmetic group, and non-Euclidean orders, for which they generate a small non-normal subgroup. Its status is not established by the supplied source context.
