Zippers-to-flows conjecture for hyperbolic groups
Zippers-to-flows conjecture for hyperbolic groups
Let be a hyperbolic group with boundary homeomorphic to , and suppose that is a minimal -zipper. Let be the closure of the set of pairs such that are the fixed points of an infinite-order element fixing exactly one point in each of and . Zippers-to-flows conjecture. The space is homeomorphic to . This conjecture seeks a planar model for the paired fixed-point data associated with a minimal zipper; the source presents it as an extension of the zipper constructions from closed hyperbolic 3-manifold groups to general hyperbolic groups.
