Frankel's conjecture on hyperbolic three-manifold groups and circle actions

A hyperbolic-like action of a group on the circle is an action by orientation-preserving circle homeomorphisms in which every non-trivial element has exactly two fixed points, one attracting and one repelling. Frankel's conjecture. Closed hyperbolic three-manifold groups do not admit hyperbolic-like actions on the circle. This conjecture concerns restrictions on circle actions of fundamental groups of closed hyperbolic three-manifolds; the supplied text does not state whether it has been resolved.
