Naber's curvature-measure convergence conjecture

About 3 years old · traced to

Let (Mi,gi)(M_i,g_i) be a sequence of nn-dimensional manifolds with lower Ricci or sectional curvature bounds, and suppose that MiM_i Gromov–Hausdorff converge without collapsing to XX. Naber's curvature-measure convergence conjecture. As measures,

scali d⁡volgi→R⁡ d⁡Hn+Φ d⁡Hn−1+θ d⁡Hn−2,scal_i \,\operatorname d {vol}_{g_i}\to {\operatorname R}\,\operatorname d\mathcal{H}^n+\Phi\,\operatorname d\mathcal{H}^{n-1}+\theta\,\operatorname d\mathcal{H}^{n-2},

where R⁡{\operatorname R}, Φ\Phi, and θ\theta are locally L1L^1 with respect to Hn\mathcal{H}^n, Hn−1\mathcal{H}^{n-1}, and Hn−2\mathcal{H}^{n-2}, respectively; Φ\Phi is supported on an (n−1)(n-1)-rectifiable subset; and θ(x)=θn−2(x)\theta(x)=\theta_{n-2}(x) is supported on the top stratum of the (n−2)(n-2)-rectifiable singular set S(X)=Sn−2(X)\mathcal{S}(X)=\mathcal{S}^{n-2}(X). The conjecture seeks a curvature-measure decomposition for nonsmooth Gromov–Hausdorff limits. The source notes partial results for lower sectional-curvature bounds, but leaves the general formulation open.
