Quasi-isometry group conjecture for Solv geometry

Let Solv\operatorname{Solv} be the three-dimensional Solv Lie group, whose two boundary factors are each identified with R\mathbb R. Let Bilip(R)\operatorname{Bilip}(\mathbb R) denote the group of bilipschitz homeomorphisms of R\mathbb R, and let Z/2\mathbb Z/2 act by switching the two factors.

QI-group conjecture.

QI(Solv)=(Bilip(R)×Bilip(R))Z/2.\operatorname{QI}(\operatorname{Solv})=\bigl(\operatorname{Bilip}(\mathbb R)\times\operatorname{Bilip}(\mathbb R)\bigr)\rtimes\mathbb Z/2.

The conjecture is motivated by the boundary description of quasi-isometries, analogous to the characterization of quasi-isometries of hyperbolic space by boundary maps. The source gives evidence for one inclusion and records implications relating this conjecture to the horizontal-preserving and rigidity conjectures; the supplied status marks it as resolved.
