Finite-height subgroups of hyperbolic groups are quasi-convex
Let be a hyperbolic group, and let be a finitely generated subgroup of . Say that has finite height if there is a bound on the number of essentially distinct conjugates of with infinite intersection.
Finite-height subgroup conjecture. If has finite height in , then is quasi-convex in .
This conjecture concerns the converse to the fact that quasi-convex subgroups have finite height, and would characterise quasi-convexity among finitely generated subgroups of hyperbolic groups by this finiteness property. The supplied text gives no evidence that it has been resolved.
