The all-dimensional L2L^2 curvature bound conjecture

Let MnM^n be a noncollapsed Riemannian manifold with bounded Ricci curvature, namely RicMnn1|\operatorname{Ric}_{M^n}|\leq n-1 and Vol(B1(p))>v>0\operatorname{Vol}(B_1(p))>{\rm v}>0.

All-dimensional L2L^2 curvature bound conjecture. There exists C=C(n,v)>0C=C(n,{\rm v})>0 such that

\fintB1(p)Rm2C.\fint_{B_1(p)}|{\rm Rm}|^2\leq C.

The paper proves the corresponding estimate in dimension 44, improving the bounds for all q<2q<2 to an a priori L2L^2 bound. Whether the same estimate holds in every dimension is left as a conjecture.
