The codimension-three conjecture for the topologically singular set of RCD spaces

Let (X,d,HN)(X,\mathsf d,\mathcal{H}^{N}) be a non-collapsed RCD(K,N)\mathsf{RCD}(K,N) space. Denote by RN{\mathcal R}_{N} its NN-regular set. Codimension-three conjecture. There exists an open subset MXM\subset X such that MM is homeomorphic to a topological manifold, RNM{\mathcal R}_{N}\subset M, and X(XM)X\setminus(\boldsymbol\partial X\cup M) has codimension at least 33. This would sharpen the known decomposition by improving the codimension bound for the topologically singular set from 22 to 33; the bound is sharp in general because the vertex of C(RP2)C(\mathbb{RP}^{2}) is not a manifold point.
