Algebraic-cycle conjecture for simple geodesics on arithmetic curves

From papers

Let FPSL2(R)F\subset \operatorname{PSL}_2(\mathbb{R}) be a lattice such that the complex algebraic curve S=F\HS=F\backslash\mathbb{H}, or equivalently its Jacobian, is defined over Q\overline{\mathbb{Q}}. Fix a simple geodesic αS\alpha\subset S and let α~H\widetilde{\alpha}\subset\mathbb{H} be its lift, an FF-invariant set of geodesics. Algebraic-cycle conjecture. The following three conditions are equivalent: α\alpha is closed; α\alpha contains an algebraic point of SS; and the endpoints α~RP1\partial\widetilde{\alpha}\subset\mathbb{R}\mathbb{P}^1 are algebraic. For a simple closed curve, the endpoints of its lifts are quadratic over the invariant trace field \K=Q{disc(A)AF}\K=\mathbb{Q}\{\operatorname{disc}(A)\mid A\in F\}. This is a proposed Schneider-type algebraic/transcendence criterion for geodesics on arithmetic curves; the source gives no resolution status.
