Generalized nonnegative scalar curvature under intrinsic-flat convergence

From papers

Suppose a sequence of three-dimensional manifolds satisfies

Mj3FMorMj3VFM,M_j^3\stackrel{\mathcal F}{\longrightarrow}M_\infty \quad\text{or}\quad M_j^3\stackrel{V\mathcal F}{\longrightarrow}M_\infty,

with Scalarj0\operatorname{Scalar}_j\ge 0 and

MinA(Mj)A0>0,Vol(Mj)[V0,V1](0,),Diam(Mj)D0.\operatorname{MinA}(M_j)\ge A_0>0,\qquad \operatorname{Vol}(M_j)\in[V_0,V_1]\subset(0,\infty),\qquad \operatorname{Diam}(M_j)\le D_0.

Generalized scalar-curvature conjecture. Then: (a) MM_\infty is a nonzero integral current space, with no cancellation without collapse; (b) MM_\infty is geodesic; (c) angles between geodesics emanating from a point exist in a suitable sense; (d) dihedral angles between intersecting surfaces exist in a suitable sense; (e) Gromov's Gauss–Bonnet Prism Inequality holds on MM_\infty; and (f) for every pMp\in M_\infty there exists rp>0r_p>0 such that for every r<rpr<r_p,

Vp(r)=M(B(p,r))4πr3/31.V_p(r)=\frac{{\mathbf M}(B(p,r))}{4\pi r^3/3}\le 1.

These properties would provide a generalized notion of nonnegative scalar curvature on the limit space. The conjecture is open.
