The Poincaré conjecture for three-dimensional Alexandrov spaces with nonnegative curvature

About 14 years old · traced to

Let AA and A′A' be nonnegatively curved Alexandrov spaces with isometric boundaries, and let A∪∂A′A\cup_\partial A' denote their gluing along a boundary isometry. Let D3D^3, K1(P2)K_1(P^2), B(pt)B(\mathrm{pt}), B(S2)B(S_2), and B(S4)B(S_4) be the listed nonnegatively curved Alexandrov spaces. Poincaré conjecture. Every simply connected three-dimensional closed Alexandrov space with nonnegative curvature is homeomorphic to an isometric gluing

A∪∂A′A\cup_\partial A'

for AA and A′A' chosen from

D3, K1(P2), B(pt), B(S2), B(S4).D^3,\ K_1(P^2),\ B(\mathrm{pt}),\ B(S_2),\ B(S_4).

This conjecture is proposed as a topological classification of collapsing three-dimensional closed Alexandrov spaces with nonnegative curvature. The supplied text gives no resolution status.
