The co-amenable subgroup conjecture for higher-rank semisimple groups

About 2 years old · traced to

Let GG be a semisimple Lie group without compact factors and of rank at least two. A discrete subgroup Λ≤G\Lambda\le G is co-amenable when the Hilbert space L2(G/Λ)L^2(G/\Lambda) admits GG-asymptotically invariant vectors. The co-amenable subgroup conjecture. If Λ≤G\Lambda\le G is discrete, co-amenable, and projects densely to every proper factor of GG, then Λ\Lambda is a lattice in GG. This conjecture is stated as a general conjecture implying the Stuck--Zimmer conjecture. The source gives the higher-rank co-amenability result for irreducible invariant random subgroups, while the asserted conclusion for all such discrete subgroups remains open there.
