Failure of the curvature-dimension condition in sub-Finsler Carnot groups

About 3 years old · traced to

Let GG be a sub-Finsler Carnot group, endowed with a positive smooth measure m\mathfrak m. Let dSF\mathsf d_{SF} denote its sub-Finsler distance, and let CD(K,N)\mathsf{CD}(K,N) be the curvature-dimension condition for metric measure spaces.

Failure of the curvature-dimension condition conjecture. The metric measure space (G,dSF,m)(G,\mathsf d_{SF},\mathfrak m) does not satisfy the CD(K,N)\mathsf{CD}(K,N) condition for any K∈RK\in\mathbb{R} and N∈(1,∞)N\in(1,\infty).

This conjecture predicts that no sub-Finsler Carnot group with a positive smooth measure satisfies any finite-dimensional curvature-dimension condition, extending the expected obstruction caused by the singularity of the norm beyond the sub-Riemannian setting. Its resolution is not established in the supplied text.
