Scaling nonvanishing conjecture for isometries of noncollapsed Ricci-limit spaces

From papers

Let (M,p)(M,p) be a complete nn-manifold satisfying

Ric(n1),vol(B1(p))v>0.\operatorname{Ric}\ge -(n-1),\quad \operatorname{vol}(B_1(p))\ge v>0.

For an isometry ff of MM, let

Dr,p(f)=supqBr(p)d(f(q),q).D_{r,p}(f)=\sup_{q\in B_r(p)}d(f(q),q).

The isometry ff is scaling Φ\Phi-nonvanishing at pp if s1Ds,p(f)δ>0s^{-1}D_{s,p}(f)\ge\delta>0 for some s(0,1]s\in(0,1] implies r1Dr,p(f)Φ(δ)r^{-1}D_{r,p}(f)\ge\Phi(\delta) for all r(0,s].r\in(0,s].

Scaling nonvanishing conjecture. Given nn and v>0v>0, there is a positive function Φ(δ,n,v)\Phi(\delta,n,v) such that every isometry of MM is scaling Φ(δ,n,v)\Phi(\delta,n,v)-nonvanishing at pp.

The conjecture asserts that noncollapse of the unit ball forces a uniform link between the displacement of an isometry at different scales. If true, it would remove the scaling nonvanishing assumption from the paper's short-generator and finite-generation results.
