Gromov's noncompact injectivity radius conjecture
Let be a complete, non-compact Riemannian manifold with uniformly positive scalar curvature
Gromov's noncompact injectivity radius conjecture. Then
and equality holds if and only if is isometric to
The source notes that even the weaker bound is open for complete noncompact manifolds with uniformly positive scalar curvature. The conjecture is presented as a stronger rigidity statement.
