Unitary representability conjecture for free topological groups

About 20 years old · traced to

Let XX be a Tikhonov space, let F(X)F(X) denote the free topological group on XX, and let MM be a metric space of L1L^1-type, meaning that MM is isometric to a subspace of LR1(μ)L^1_{\mathbf{R}}(\mu) for some measure space (Ω,μ)(\Omega,\mu).

Unitary representability conjecture. For every Tikhonov space XX, there exists a metric space MM of L1L^1-type such that F(X)F(X) is isomorphic to a subgroup of the group of isometries Iso⁡(M)\operatorname{Iso}(M).

This is proposed as a non-abelian analogue of the preceding unitary-representability results for additive groups of L1L^1 spaces. Its status is not determined by the supplied text.
