Damjanović–Wilkinson–Xu affine rigidity conjecture with centralizer isomorphism

From papers

Let GG be a Lie group, let X=G/ΓX=G/\Gamma be a homogeneous space with Γ<G\Gamma<G cocompact and discrete, and let f0=LaΨf_0=L_a\circ\Psi be an affine diffeomorphism, where aGa\in G and Ψ\Psi is a GG-automorphism preserving Γ\Gamma. For a diffeomorphism ff, write Z(f)\mathcal{Z}^\infty(f) for its smooth centralizer. Damjanović–Wilkinson–Xu's affine rigidity conjecture. If f0f_0 satisfies the KK-property and Z(f0)\mathcal{Z}^\infty(f_0) has no rank 11 factor, then for every fDiff(X)f\in\mathrm{Diff}^\infty(X) sufficiently C1C^1-close to f0f_0, if Z(f)Z(f0)\mathcal{Z}^\infty(f)\simeq\mathcal{Z}^\infty(f_0), then ff is smoothly conjugate to an affine diffeomorphism. This asserts local affine rigidity when the smooth centralizer is isomorphic to that of the reference affine system; the supplied text gives no resolution evidence.
