The Lipschitz-rate and constant-density conjecture for collapsed Ricci limits

Let γ ⁣:(2,2)X\gamma\colon(-2,2)\to X be a minimizing geodesic, and let s,t(1,1)s,t\in(-1,1).

Volume-density conjecture. We have

ν(Br(γ(s)))ν(Br(γ(t)))C(n,λ)ts,\frac{\nu(B_r(\gamma(s)))}{\nu(B_r(\gamma(t)))}\leq C(n,\lambda)|t-s|,

with the Lipschitz-rate interpretation, and, if XX is noncollapsed,

limr0ν(Br(γ(s)))ν(Br(γ(t)))=1.\lim_{r\to0}\frac{\nu(B_r(\gamma(s)))}{\nu(B_r(\gamma(t)))}=1.

The known Hölder variation rate for geometries along geodesics is sharp, and the conjecture predicts stronger behavior for volume ratios. The source gives no resolution.
