Finiteness conjecture for hyperbolic spaces of irreducible higher-rank lattices
Finiteness conjecture for hyperbolic spaces of irreducible higher-rank lattices
Let be a higher-rank Lie group, or a nontrivial product of locally compact groups, and let be an irreducible lattice in . A Gromov hyperbolic -space is a Gromov hyperbolic metric space equipped with an isometric action of ; two such spaces are considered equivalent when they are coarsely equivalent. An invariant horoball is a horoball preserved by the action.
Finiteness conjecture. If is an irreducible lattice in a higher rank Lie group (or in a nontrivial product of locally compact groups) , there are finitely many Gromov hyperbolic -spaces, up to coarse equivalence, without invariant horoballs.
The conjecture proposes that the non-elementary hyperbolic actions of irreducible higher-rank lattices have only finitely many coarse-equivalence classes once actions with invariant horoballs are excluded. The supplied source does not indicate whether this finiteness statement has been proved or disproved.
