Pillay–Yao conjecture on definably amenable NIP groups

Let GG be a definably amenable NIP group. An fsg group is a group with finitely satisfiable generics, and a dfg group is a group with definable f-generics. Pillay–Yao's conjecture. GG is an extension of an fsg group by a dfg group, כלומר there is a short exact sequence

1HGC11\to H\to G\to C\to 1

where HH is dfg and CC is fsg.

This conjecture concerns the structure of definably amenable NIP groups and would generalize the corresponding decomposition known for definably amenable groups in o-minimal expansions of real closed fields. The cited source does not provide evidence that the conjecture has been resolved.
