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

About 7 years old · traced to

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 M⊂XM\subset X such that MM is homeomorphic to a topological manifold, RN⊂M{\mathcal R}_{N}\subset M, and X∖(∂X∪M)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.
