Closure equivalence conjecture for metric thickenings
Let be a simplicial metric thickening, with metric thickening . Let be the closure of in , and let be its closure in the finitely-supported metric thickening . In the notation used for the associated simplicial complex, these spaces are denoted and , respectively. Closure equivalence conjecture. The metric thickening and its closure in the finitely-supported space are homotopy equivalent:
The surrounding text presents this as an unresolved conjecture intended to connect the infinitely-supported space with the theorem that and are homotopy equivalent. It is meant to show that the infinitely-supported space has the same homotopy type independently of the closure properties of the original space.
