Cassels–Swinnerton-Dyer–Margulis conjecture on bounded diagonal orbits

From papers

Let DD be the diagonal group of SLn(R)\operatorname{SL}_n(\mathbb{R}) where n3n\ge 3. A DD-orbit in SLn(R)/SLn(Z)\operatorname{SL}_n(\mathbb{R})/\operatorname{SL}_n(\mathbb{Z}) is relatively compact when its closure is compact. Cassels–Swinnerton-Dyer–Margulis conjecture. Any relatively compact DD-orbit in SLn(R)/SLn(Z)\operatorname{SL}_n(\mathbb{R})/\operatorname{SL}_n(\mathbb{Z}) is closed.

This conjecture concerns topological rigidity of diagonal actions on homogeneous spaces and was posed by Cassels and Swinnerton-Dyer for n=3n=3 and by Margulis in general. Its status is not specified in the supplied text.
