Visual-topology conjecture for sublinearly Morse boundaries of graph manifolds

Let GG be the fundamental group of a non-positively curved graph manifold, let XX be its universal cover, and let TT_{\infty} be the Bass–Serre tree of the graph-of-groups decomposition. Let T(G,X,T)\mathcal{T}(G,X,T_{\infty}) be the topology induced by the action of GG on TT_{\infty}, and let κX\partial_{\kappa}X be the κ\kappa-Morse boundary. Graph-manifold visual-topology conjecture. The topology T(G,X,T)\mathcal{T}(G,X,T_{\infty}) coincides with the visual topology on κX\partial_{\kappa}X. The paper describes proposed approaches via curtain and median topologies, but controlling flats crossing infinitely many pieces remains an obstacle; the conjecture is open.
