Gabrielov–Vorobjov approximation conjecture without separability

Let SKRnS \subset K \subset \mathbb R^n be a bounded definable set with a monotone family of compact sets {Sδ}δ>0\{S_\delta\}_{\delta>0} satisfying S=δSδS=\bigcup_\delta S_\delta. Suppose that for sufficiently small δ\delta there are compact definable sets Sδ,εS_{\delta,\varepsilon} increasing in ε(0,1)\varepsilon\in(0,1), with Sδ=εSδ,εS_\delta=\bigcap_\varepsilon S_{\delta,\varepsilon}, and suppose that for sufficiently smaller δ\delta' and every ε>0\varepsilon'>0 there is an open set UKU\subset K such that SδUSδ,εS_\delta\subset U\subset S_{\delta',\varepsilon'}. For sufficiently separated parameters ε0δ0ε1δ1εnδn\varepsilon_0\ll\delta_0\ll\varepsilon_1\ll\delta_1\ll\cdots\ll\varepsilon_n\ll\delta_n, the approximation conjecture without separability. The set

Sδ0,ε0Sδn,εnS_{\delta_0,\varepsilon_0}\cup\cdots\cup S_{\delta_n,\varepsilon_n}

is homotopy equivalent to SS, without assuming the separability condition. The separability hypothesis is known to hold in many inequality-defined situations but is not preserved under images of definable maps; the conjecture removes that restriction.
