The closed invariant characterization conjecture for irreducible Wintgen ideal submanifolds
Let be an irreducible Wintgen ideal submanifold of dimension , meaning that the only integrable distribution containing the canonical distribution is the tangent bundle of . Let be the Lorentz-plane connection 1-form associated with a frame . Closed invariant characterization conjecture. If
then is Möbius equivalent to a minimal Wintgen ideal submanifold in one of the three space forms. The characterization is known for and for the general 3-dimensional case; it remains open in higher dimensions.
