Usher's obstruction-supremum conjecture for ellipsoid embedding functions
For , define
Let and be Usher's obstruction classes, let denote the obstruction associated to a class , and let be the accumulation point of the infinite staircase for . Let the center of be the left endpoint of the interval under consideration.
Usher's conjecture. Between the center of and , the function equals
Usher proved that has an infinite staircase, while this conjecture predicts the complete embedding function up to its accumulation point using the indicated obstruction classes.
