Conjecture on singular spherical and hyperbolic orbifold limits of Einstein manifolds
Conjecture on singular spherical and hyperbolic orbifold limits of Einstein manifolds
Let be a singular spherical or hyperbolic orbifold, and let be smooth Einstein manifolds. Spherical and hyperbolic orbifold limit conjecture. Singular spherical and hyperbolic orbifolds cannot be Gromov–Hausdorff limits of smooth Einstein manifolds; equivalently, there is no sequence such that
The conjecture would remove the technical integrability assumption from the paper's obstruction theorem, which rules out desingularization by smooth integrable Ricci-flat ALE models. The source does not state a resolution.
