Margulis' bounded diagonal orbit conjecture

From papers

Let Xd=SLd(R)/SLd(Z)X_d=\mathrm{SL}_d(\mathbb{R})/\mathrm{SL}_d(\mathbb{Z}) and let AA be the connected diagonal subgroup

A={diag(et1,,etd):t1,,tdR, i=1dti=0}.A=\{\operatorname{diag}(e^{t_1},\ldots,e^{t_d}):t_1,\ldots,t_d\in\mathbb{R},\ \sum_{i=1}^d t_i=0\}.

An AA-orbit is bounded if its image in XdX_d is bounded. Margulis' conjecture. Every bounded AA-orbit in XdX_d is compact. This is the classical conjecture motivating the paper's refined statements about bounded cone orbits; the source does not state a resolution.
