Tsai–Tsui–Wang area-nonincreasing rigidity conjecture
Tsai–Tsui–Wang area-nonincreasing rigidity conjecture
Let and be round spheres, and let and be complex projective spaces with the Fubini–Study metrics. Consider an area-nonincreasing map between either pair of spaces. Tsai–Tsui–Wang's conjecture. Any area-nonincreasing map between and or between and must be either homotopically trivial or an isometry. The conjecture extends rigidity from distance-nonincreasing maps to the weaker area-nonincreasing condition; the source says it was speculated by Tsai, Tsui, and Wang and does not state a resolution.
