Conjecture on the necessary ambient-dimension dependence of covering numbers
Let be a regular set in , and let denote its covering number at scale . Covering-number dependence conjecture. There exists a regular set in with
This would show that an dependence is necessary in the relevant covering-number bound, improving the currently established dependence. The source does not provide evidence resolving the conjecture.
