The standard-form conjecture for quasi-isometries of nondegenerate Sol-type groups
Let be nondegenerate with . Let be a quasi-isometry for some, and hence any, left-invariant Riemannian metric. Let be any lift of the quotient map , and give semi-direct normal coordinates with the factor on the right. Standard-form conjecture. The map is at finite distance from a map , where is left-translation by a group element, each is a map from to itself, and belongs to a finite group of symmetries that simultaneously permute the and act on by a linear isomorphism permuting the associated roots, with the property that if , then and is isomorphic to . The conjecture would give the structural description of quasi-isometries needed to establish intrinsic rough-isometry results for these groups; the supplied text does not indicate whether it is known or open.
