The connection-blocking conjecture for homogeneous spaces
The connection-blocking conjecture for homogeneous spaces
Let be a connected Lie group and let be a lattice. Set . The connection curves of are the orbits of one-parameter subgroups of . The space is blockable if every pair of points can be blocked by a finite set disjoint from the pair.
Connection-blocking conjecture. The space is blockable if and only if
i.e., if and only if is a torus.
This is the homogeneous-space counterpart of the security conjecture for closed Riemannian manifolds. The paper proves that all quotients of are non-blockable, but the stated characterization for general connected Lie groups with lattices remains open.
