The normalized cohomology convergence conjecture for semisimple algebraic groups

Let G\mathsf{G} be a semisimple algebraic group over C\mathbb{C}, let Γ\Gamma be a torsion-free subgroup of type FPFP_\infty, and let {Wk}\{\mathsf{W}_k\} be a sequence of irreducible representations of G\mathsf{G} whose highest weight parameters grow to infinity. Normalized cohomology convergence conjecture. For every ii,

limkdimHi(Γ,Wk)dimWk=bi(2)(Γ),\lim_{k \to \infty} \frac{\dim \operatorname{H}^i(\Gamma, \mathsf{W}_k)}{\dim \mathsf{W}_k}=b_i^{(2)}(\Gamma),

where bi(2)(Γ)b_i^{(2)}(\Gamma) is the ii-th 2\ell^2-Betti number of Γ\Gamma. This conjecture gives an asymptotic description of the cohomology of representations whose highest weights escape to infinity; the paper provides positive answers in the case of products of copies of SL2(C)\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb{C}), while the general case remains open.
