Polynomial filling conjecture for S-arithmetic lattices

Let kk) be a number field, let G\mathbf{G} be an absolutely almost simple, kk-isotropic kk-algebraic group, let SS contain all archimedean places of kk, and let Γ<GS\Gamma<G_S be an SS-arithmetic lattice. Write rankS(G)=νSrankkνG\operatorname{rank}_S(\mathbf{G})=\sum_{\nu\in S}\operatorname{rank}_{k_\nu}\mathbf{G}. The filling function \fillingZ,Γi\filling_{\mathbb Z,\Gamma}^i measures the optimal ii-dimensional filling volume for Γ\Gamma with integral coefficients. Polynomial filling conjecture. The filling function \fillingZ,Γi\filling_{\mathbb Z,\Gamma}^i is polynomial for every 2irankS(G)12\le i\le \operatorname{rank}_S(\mathbf{G})-1. This predicts polynomial higher-dimensional filling behavior for SS-arithmetic lattices throughout the range below the SS-rank. The supplied text gives no resolution or supporting evidence, so the conjecture is recorded as open.
