Bounded normalizer conjecture for finite-volume hyperbolic 3-manifold groups

From papers

Let NN be a compact, connected, P2{\mathbf{P}^2}-irreducible 33-manifold whose boundary is a non-empty collection of incompressible tori and Klein bottles. Assume that every subgroup of π1(N)\pi_1(N) isomorphic to ZZ\mathbf{Z}\oplus\mathbf{Z} is peripheral, and that NN is not an II-bundle over a torus or Klein bottle. For a subgroup Hπ1(N)H\leq\pi_1(N), write

Nπ1(N)(H)={gπ1(N):gHg1=H}N_{\pi_1(N)}(H)=\{g\in\pi_1(N):gHg^{-1}=H\}

for its normalizer. Bounded normalizer conjecture. The group π1(N)\pi_1(N) has a non-cyclic, finitely generated subgroup HH such that [Nπ1(N)(H):H]=[N_{\pi_1(N)}(H):H]=\infty. The source gives no resolution; this is the group-theoretic companion to the bounded virtual bundle conjecture.
