Yamaguchi's tangent-splitting conjecture for noncompact Alexandrov spaces

About 13 years old · traced to

Let A∈Alex⁡n(0)A\in \operatorname{Alex}^n(0) be a noncompact Alexandrov space with a soul SS. Let CiC_i be the subsets associated with the soul as in 1.1, and let p∈Ci∖∂Cip\in C_i\setminus\partial C_i be a topologically regular point. Let TpXT_pX denote the tangent cone at pp, and let KK be a Euclidean cone. Yamaguchi's conjecture. The tangent cone TpXT_pX is isometric to the product

TpCi×K.T_pC_i\times K.

This conjecture concerns the expected local product structure of nonnegatively curved Alexandrov spaces along the soul decomposition. The supplied source identifies it as a conjecture of Yamaguchi; no resolution is given here.
