Wise's conjecture on non-positive immersions for contractible complexes
Wise's conjecture on non-positive immersions for contractible complexes
Let be a contractible complex. Wise's conjecture. The complex has (weak) non-positive immersions. Here, non-positive immersions means that for every immersion of a compact, connected 2-complex , either or ; weak non-positive immersions means that for every compact, connected . The paper's abstract states that it provides examples of contractible complexes failing to have non-positive immersions and weak non-positive immersions, answering Wise's conjecture in the negative.
