Generic stratification conjecture for Pareto critical sets

At least 15 years old · documented by

Let WW be a compact manifold of dimension n≥mn\geq m, let u∈C∞(W,Rm)u\in C^\infty(W,\mathbb{R}^m), and let θ\theta be its Pareto critical set, with θS\theta_S denoting the singular part of θ\theta. A stratification of a subset of WW is a finite collection of connected submanifolds satisfying the frontier and transversality conditions. Generic stratification conjecture. There is an open and dense set G⊂C∞(W,Rm)\mathcal{G}\subset C^\infty(W,\mathbb{R}^m) such that if u∈Gu\in\mathcal{G}, then θ\theta is a stratified set and θS\theta_S is a union of strata. The conjecture concerns the generic geometric structure of Pareto critical sets and is stated as proved only for m=2,3m=2,3; its validity in general remains open.
