Nilpotent geodesic-flow asymptotic expansion conjecture
Let be a compact Riemann manifold with negative curvature. Let be a finitely generated torsion-free nilpotent group, let be surjective, and let be a conjugacy class of a central element of . Let denote the polynomial growth order of , and let be the constant in the nilpotent Floquet–Bloch asymptotic conjecture for the geodesic flow on . Nilpotent geodesic-flow expansion conjecture. Then
where the constants are expressed in terms of , via Lie integrals or Chen's iterated integrals, and are explicitly computable. The claim predicts a full asymptotic expansion refining the leading nilpotent orbit-counting term; the supplied source gives no resolution.
