Weak convergence of curvature tensors under Gromov–Hausdorff convergence

From papers

Let M(n,r,V)\mathcal M(n,r,V) be the class of nn-dimensional complete Riemannian manifolds with sectional curvature at most 11, injectivity radius at least r>0r>0, and volume at most VV. Suppose that MjM(n,r,V)M_j\in\mathcal M(n,r,V) converge to a metric space MM in the Gromov–Hausdorff topology. Weak convergence conjecture. The curvature tensors of MjM_j weakly converge as measures. In particular, the total scalar curvatures of MjM_j converge. If MM is a Riemannian manifold, then the limit is the total scalar curvature of MM. This is the expected analogue, for upper sectional-curvature bounds, of the convergence theorem of Lebedeva and Petrunin for manifolds with sectional curvature bounded below and without collapsing; the statement concerns curvature measures and, in particular, convergence of total scalar curvature.
