Petrykowski's bounded-orbit conjecture for definable groups

Let GG be a definable group. Say that GG is definably amenable if it admits a left G(M)G(M)-invariant Keisler measure on GG over a model MM. For a sufficiently saturated model Mˉ\bar M and a type p(x)SG(Mˉ)p(x)\in S_G(\bar M), say that pp has bounded orbit if its orbit under the left action of G(Mˉ)G(\bar M) has cardinality smaller than the saturation cardinal; say that GG has a bounded orbit if some such type does.

Petrykowski's conjecture. If GG has a bounded orbit, then GG is definably amenable.

The conjecture connects the existence of a small orbit on the type space with invariant-measure amenability for definable groups. The source attributes it to Petrykowski through Newelski; its resolution is not specified in the supplied text.
