Contraction conjecture for positively curved spheres
Contraction conjecture for positively curved spheres
Let satisfy with , and let be the canonical metric on rescaled so that . A map pushes forward one volume measure onto the other up to a finite constant if its pushforward is proportional to the target measure, and it contracts the corresponding metrics when it is -Lipschitz. Contraction conjecture. There exists a map
pushing forward onto up to a finite constant and contracting the corresponding metrics. Such a map would imply the spherical spectral comparison conjecture by the contraction principle. The source attributes this as a previously unpublished conjecture and gives no resolution.
