Isometry between the asymptotic completion and the free-group completion

Restrict to the free group G=F(A)G=F(A), let ΘP(G)\Theta\subseteq P(G) be a set of cyclically reduced representatives for the equivalence classes in P(G)P(G), and let τ\tau be the stable norm. Write C^(G)\hat{\mathcal C}(G) for the relevant asymptotic completion and D^(Θ;τ)\hat{\mathcal D}(\Theta;\tau) for the completion associated with Θ\Theta and τ\tau. Isometry conjecture. With this notation, C^(G)\hat{\mathcal C}(G) is isometric to D^(Θ;τ)\hat{\mathcal D}(\Theta;\tau). Since the inclusion map into the completion has dense image, the conjecture asserts that the resulting completion does not add any metric discrepancy; the source gives no resolution.
