Finiteness conjecture for periodic diagonal orbits in compact sets

Let n3n \geq 3 and let HH be the diagonal subgroup acting on PGLn(Z)\PGLn(R)\operatorname{PGL}_n(\mathbb{Z}) \backslash \operatorname{PGL}_n(\mathbb{R}). Finiteness conjecture for periodic orbits. For every compact subset Ω\Omega of

PGLn(Z)\PGLn(R),\operatorname{PGL}_n(\mathbb{Z}) \backslash \operatorname{PGL}_n(\mathbb{R}),

there are only finitely many periodic HH-orbits contained in Ω\Omega. The source says this follows from the bounded-orbit conjecture together with isolation results, so its conjectural status is tied to that higher-rank rigidity framework.
