Background

The authors obtain uniformly Lipschitz affine actions for hyperbolic groups on l1 and position their result within a broader program motivated by Shalom’s conjecture regarding actions on l2.

They explicitly reference Shalom’s conjecture as an open problem through the citations [Che01, Open Problem 14] and [Now15, Conjecture 35].

References

Theorem E fits into a line of research inspired by a conjecture of Shalom positing that every hyperbolic group admits a proper, uniformly Lipschitz affine action on 22 ([Che01, Open Problem 14], [Now15, Conjecture 35]).
