The p-adic Hilbert–Smith conjecture

About 4 years old · traced to

For a prime pp, let Z^p\widehat{\mathbb{Z}}_p denote the pp-adic group. The p-adic Hilbert–Smith conjecture. For every prime pp, there is no faithful action of Z^p\widehat{\mathbb{Z}}_p on a topological manifold. This is the pp-adic formulation equivalent to the Hilbert–Smith conjecture in the structural reduction described by the source. The source says that this formulation has been proved in different contexts, including for topological manifolds of dimension at most 33, but does not state a full resolution in all dimensions.
