Almost rigidity of the Scalar Torus Theorem

From papers

Let Mj3M_j^3 be diffeomorphic to T3\mathbb T^3 and satisfy

Scalar(Mj3)1/j,\operatorname{Scalar}(M_j^3)\ge -1/j,

and

Vol(Mj3)=V0,Diam(Mj3)D0,MinA(Mj3)A0>0.\operatorname{Vol}(M_j^3)=V_0,\qquad \operatorname{Diam}(M_j^3)\le D_0,\qquad \operatorname{MinA}(M_j^3)\ge A_0>0.

Almost-rigidity conjecture. A subsequence should converge intrinsically flatly to a flat torus:

MjkFM0,M_{j_k}\stackrel{\mathcal F}{\longrightarrow}M_0,

and possibly even converge with volume convergence. The conjecture is motivated by the Scalar Torus Theorem; it is false for Gromov–Hausdorff convergence and remains open for intrinsic-flat convergence.
