Classification conjecture for positively curved Alexandrov 4-spaces with circle symmetry

About 8 years old · traced to

Let T1T^1 act isometrically and effectively on X4X^4, where X4X^4 is a 44-dimensional, closed, positively curved, orientable Alexandrov space. Classification conjecture. Up to equivariant homeomorphism, XX is one of the following spaces:

  1. the suspension of a spherical 33-manifold, with a linear action; or
  2. a finite quotient of a weighted complex projective space with a linear action.

The conjecture is motivated by the classification of positively curved Alexandrov spaces with circle symmetry and is stated without the additional local Condition Q hypothesis. The paper identifies Condition Q as the remaining obstacle to proving it.
