de Groot's absolute cone conjecture

About 21 years old · traced to

Let XX be an nn-dimensional absolute cone, meaning a compact finite-dimensional metric space that is a cone with respect to every point. de Groot's absolute cone conjecture. The space XX is homeomorphic to the nn-cell. The conjecture is true for n≤4n\leq 4 and false for n≥5n\geq 5, by the result attributed in the source to Guilbault.
