Agol–Storm–Thurston scalar curvature and volume entropy conjecture

From papers

Let (M,g)(M,g) be a closed Riemannian 33-manifold, let RgR_g denote its scalar curvature, and let h(g)h(g) denote its volume entropy. Agol–Storm–Thurston conjecture. If

Rg6,R_g \geq -6,

then

h(g)2.h(g)\leq 2.

This conjecture proposes a direct relation between scalar curvature and volume entropy in dimension three. The paper's abstract states that its construction gives counterexamples, so the conjecture is refuted.
