Shalev's conjecture on commutators in special linear groups over p-adic integers

### What is the conjecture
**Conjecture (Aner Shalev):** For every prime $p$ and every integer $n \ge 2$ (with $p > 3$ if $n = 2$), every element of the special linear group $\mathrm{SL}_n(\mathbb{Z}_p)$ over the $p$-adic integers $\mathbb{Z}_p$ is a single commutator, i.e., of the form

$$
A = X Y X^{-1} Y^{-1}
$$

for some $X, Y \in \mathrm{SL}_n(\mathbb{Z}_p)$.
