Salehi-Golsefidy–Varjú super approximation conjecture
Let be a finitely generated subgroup. Let be the Zariski closure of , and let denote its identity component. The group has the super approximation property with respect to all positive integers if and only if
Salehi-Golsefidy–Varjú conjecture. A finitely generated subgroup has super approximation with respect to all positive integers exactly when the identity component of its Zariski closure is perfect. This gives a proposed characterization of super approximation for arbitrary finitely generated linear groups, extending the known results for important classes of Zariski-dense subgroups; the source provides no resolution of the conjecture.
