Shioya–Yamaguchi's Alexandrov sphere conjecture
Let be a -dimensional compact, simply connected, non-negatively curved Alexandrov space without boundary, and suppose that is a topological manifold. Shioya–Yamaguchi's conjecture. Then is homeomorphic to a sphere. This conjecture concerns the topology of diameter-collapsed limits in the study of collapsing -manifolds; the source gives no evidence of its resolution.
