Burago–Zalgaller–Ros conjecture on isoperimetric regions in projective spaces

Let K{R,C,H}\mathbb{K}\in\{\mathbb{R},\mathbb{C},\mathbb{H}\}, and let Pn+1(K)\mathbb{P}^{n+1}(\mathbb{K}) be the corresponding projective space. A projective subspace Pk(K)Pn+1(K)\mathbb{P}^k(\mathbb{K})\subset\mathbb{P}^{n+1}(\mathbb{K}) has tubular neighborhoods in Pn+1(K)\mathbb{P}^{n+1}(\mathbb{K}). Burago–Zalgaller–Ros conjecture. The isoperimetric regions in the projective spaces Pn+1(K)\mathbb{P}^{n+1}(\mathbb{K}) are tubular neighborhoods of projective subspaces Pk(K)Pn+1(K)\mathbb{P}^k(\mathbb{K})\subset\mathbb{P}^{n+1}(\mathbb{K}). This conjecture proposes the natural projective analogue of the Euclidean, hyperbolic, and spherical isoperimetric descriptions. The source notes that its real case was posed by Burago and Zalgaller in 1988; its general status is not established here.
