Klein's cup-one length conjecture

Let XX be a space and let n>2n>2. Assume that LS2(X)n2LS_2(X)\leq n-2, where LS2LS_2 is the local LS-category invariant defined using an nn-set cover whose pairwise unions map null homotopically to XX. Klein's conjecture. There is a notion of cup-one length such that LS2(X)n2LS_2(X)\leq n-2 implies that the cup-one length of XX is at most n2n-2. The proposed invariant is intended to measure higher cup-one structure associated to the local LS-category; it is explicitly described as not yet defined, and no resolution is given.
