Nonexistence conjecture for upper-half-space quasi-isometric embeddings in Solv

Let H2\mathbb H^2 be the hyperbolic plane and let Solv\operatorname{Solv} be the three-dimensional Solv geometry with coordinates (x,y,t)(x,y,t). Define its upper half-space by

Solv+={(x,y,t)Solv:t0}.\operatorname{Solv}^+=\{(x,y,t)\in\operatorname{Solv}:t\geq 0\}.

Upper-half-space embedding conjecture. There does not exist a quasi-isometric embedding

H2Solv\mathbb H^2\to\operatorname{Solv}

whose image is entirely contained in Solv+\operatorname{Solv}^+.

This conjecture would support the proposed understanding of quasi-isometrically embedded hyperbolic planes in Solv\operatorname{Solv} and follows the source's discussion of quasivertical embeddings. Its resolution status is not supplied and is therefore recorded as open.
