Homogeneity conjecture for generalized manifolds

Let XX be a connected generalized nn-manifold, meaning a locally compact nn-dimensional ANRANR-space that is a Z\mathbb Z-homology nn-manifold. Assume that XX has the disjoint disks property: arbitrary maps f,g:B2Xf,g:\mathbb B^2\to X can be approximated arbitrarily closely by maps with disjoint images.

Homogeneity conjecture. Every connected generalized nn-manifold with the disjoint disks property is homogeneous, for n5n\geq 5.

This conjecture is attributed to Bryant, Ferry, Mio and Weinberger. The source gives no evidence of resolution.
