The hyperplane asymptotic conjecture for non-geodesic horizontal projections
The hyperplane asymptotic conjecture for non-geodesic horizontal projections
Let be a Carnot group with first layer , let be the quotient map, and let denote the relevant distance. Suppose that is a geodesic whose horizontal projection is not a geodesic. Hyperplane asymptotic conjecture. There exists a hyperplane such that
This would sharpen the blowdown theorem by asserting that the horizontal projection of every such geodesic becomes asymptotic to a hyperplane in the first layer, rather than merely satisfying the weaker conclusion currently available. The source presents this as a possible improvement, and no resolution is given.
