The double smoothness conjecture for Alexandrov spaces with maximal obtuse constant
The double smoothness conjecture for Alexandrov spaces with maximal obtuse constant
Let be an Alexandrov space with curvature bounded below. For compact , let denote its obtuse constant and let be its double. For noncompact , let denote its obtuse constant from infinity.
Double smoothness conjecture. If is compact and , then has no singular points. Similarly, if is noncompact and , then has no singular points.
This conjecture predicts that the extremal value of the obtuse constant forces the double of an Alexandrov space to be nonsingular. The supplied text gives no resolution or further evidence beyond the conjectural statement.
