Relative hyperbolicity conjecture for fully irreducible automorphisms of infinitely ended groups

Let GG be the fundamental group of a non-sporadic graph of groups with finite edge stabilisers, and let ΦAut(G)\Phi\in\operatorname{Aut}(G) be fully irreducible relative to this splitting. A suspension of a subgroup associated to Φ\Phi is its semidirect product with the cyclic factor induced by Φ\Phi. Relative hyperbolicity conjecture. Then, for some positive integer NN, the group

GΦNZG\rtimes_{\Phi^N}\mathbb{Z}

is hyperbolic relative to the suspensions of the polynomially growing subgroups of Φ\Phi. A proof would extend the relative hyperbolicity argument to general infinitely ended groups and complete the main theorem without an assumption on torsion; the statement remains open in the source.
