Abért–Virág conjecture on Hausdorff dimension of linear groups in W_p

Let RR be a commutative pro-pp ring and let GGLn(R)G\le \mathrm{GL}_n(R) be a linear group over RR. The group WpW_p is the group of pp-adic automorphisms, namely a Sylow pro-pp subgroup of the automorphism group of the pp-adic tree, equipped with its level-stabilizer metric and Hausdorff dimension. Abért–Virág conjecture. For any embedding of GG into WpW_p, the image of GG has zero Hausdorff dimension. This conjecture is the main result of the paper in greater generality: the corresponding zero-dimensionality statement is proved for embeddings of linear groups over any integral domain into the automorphism group of a bounded rooted tree.
