Trotman's tubular-neighborhood conjecture for b-regular stratified spaces

About 19 years old · traced to

Let (A,Σ)(A,\Sigma) be a differentiable stratified space bb-regularly embedded by pp into Rn\mathbb R^n: for strata Y<XY<X, whenever sequences in XX and YY converge to a point of YY, the limiting direction from the points of XX to the points of YY lies in the limiting tangent space to XX. For every stratum X∈ΣX\in\Sigma and point x∈Xx\in X, there should exist a neighborhood UU of xx and a tubular neighborhood (L,L)(L,\mathcal L) of X∣UX_{|U} in (U,Σ∣U)(U,\Sigma_{|U}) such that the restriction p∣Lp_{|L} is an embedding of (L,L)(L,\mathcal L). Trotman's conjecture. Every differentiable stratified space satisfying this bb-regular embedding condition has such a locally embedded tubular neighborhood around each stratum. The conjecture is D. Trotman's 1993 adaptation of Whitney's conjecture to differentiable stratified spaces; the supplied text gives no resolution status.
