Schur critical-index conjecture for simple Lie groups and lattices

From papers

Let G\mathrm{G} be a simple Lie group or lattice, and define its Schur critical index by

qG:=sup{p2 ⁣:G is Schur weakly p-amenable}.q_{\mathrm{G}}:=\sup\big\{p\geq 2\colon \mathrm{G}\text{ is Schur weakly $p$-amenable}\big\}.

Schur critical-index conjecture. The critical index satisfies

qG=2rank(G)rank(G)1.q_{\mathrm{G}}=\frac{2\,\operatorname{rank}(\mathrm{G})}{\operatorname{rank}(\mathrm{G})-1}.

The source says this holds for SL2(R)S L_2(\mathbf{R}) and matches known results for SL3(R)S L_3(\mathbf{R}), while proposing the formula for simple Lie groups and lattices generally. Its Fourier analogue is described as potentially implying that the rank is retained by the group von Neumann algebra.
