Regularity of subFinsler spheres in Carnot groups

About 14 years old · traced to

Let G∞G_\infty be the asymptotic cone, equipped with its Pansu limit metric d∞d_\infty, and let a Riemannian distance on G∞G_\infty be fixed. The unit sphere is the boundary of

Bd∞(id⁡,1)={g∈G∞:d∞(id⁡,g)⩽1}.B_{d_\infty}(\operatorname{id},1)=\{g\in G_\infty:d_\infty(\operatorname{id},g)\leqslant 1\}.

Regularity conjecture. The unit sphere of d∞d_\infty is rectifiable with respect to every Riemannian distance on G∞G_\infty. In particular, if G∞G_\infty has topological dimension nn, then the sphere has finite (n−1)(n-1)-dimensional Lebesgue measure. This remains open for general Carnot groups and is proposed because such regularity would imply the desired volume asymptotics for the associated Stoll metric.
