Finite cop number for game spaces with finite doubling constant
A game space is a compact geodesic metric space equipped with the Cops and Robber game. Its doubling constant is the least such that every ball can be covered by at most balls of radius . The doubling conjecture. If is a game space with finite doubling constant, then
This is posed among the paper's open problems connecting cop number with classical metric properties; the source gives no resolution.
