The infinite -width index conjecture
The infinite -width index conjecture
Let be a closed spin manifold. Its Rosenberg index is the index class associated with the spin Dirac operator, and is said to have infinite -width when its -width is unbounded. The infinite -width index conjecture. Every closed spin manifold of infinite -width has non-vanishing Rosenberg index.
This conjecture is motivated by the stable Gromov–Lawson–Rosenberg conjecture and the obstruction from infinite -width to stable positive scalar curvature; it remains open in general.
