The simplicial volume conjecture for open 3-manifolds

At least 4 years old · documented by

Let SV(3)SV(3) be the set of simplicial volumes of closed 33-manifolds, and let SVlf(3)SV^{\text{lf}}(3) be the set of simplicial volumes of all 33-manifolds without boundary. Here simplicial volume is understood in the locally finite sense for open manifolds, and ∞\infty denotes infinite simplicial volume.

Simplicial volume conjecture for open 3-manifolds.

SVlf(3)=SV(3)∪{∞}.SV^{\text{lf}}(3)=SV(3)\cup\{\infty\}.

The equality would completely determine the set of simplicial volumes of open 33-manifolds. The corresponding result is known for tame open 33-manifolds, but the general case remains open.
