Gromov's Hölder embedding conjecture for the Heisenberg group

Let Ω\Omega be an open subset of Rk\mathbb{R}^k, let nn be a positive integer, and let Cγ(Ω,Hn)C^{\gamma}(\Omega,\mathbb{H}_n) denote the maps that are γ\gamma-Hölder with respect to the Heisenberg metric. An embedding is an injective map that is a homeomorphism onto its image. Gromov's conjecture. There is no embedding

fCγ(Ω,Hn)f\in C^{\gamma}(\Omega,\mathbb{H}_n)

whenever kn+1k\geq n+1 and γ>12\gamma>\frac{1}{2}. This conjecture predicts a dimensional obstruction to Hölder embeddings of Euclidean open sets into the Heisenberg group; the cited theorem establishes related non-embedding results under additional Euclidean Hölder regularity assumptions, but the stated conjecture remains open.
