The inverse-distance Lipschitz conjecture for sub-Finsler Carnot groups

From papers

Let G\mathbb G be a sub-Finsler Carnot group of step 22, with Carnot–Carathéodory distance dccd_{\mathrm{cc}}, abnormal set Abn\mathrm{Abn}, and a fixed Riemannian metric deud_{\mathrm{eu}}. Let KGK\subset\mathbb G be compact with 0GK0_{\mathbb G}\notin K. The inverse-distance Lipschitz conjecture. There exists a constant C>0C>0 such that, for every δ>0\delta>0, the function dcc(0G,)d_{\mathrm{cc}}(0_{\mathbb G},\cdot) is Cδ1C\delta^{-1}-Lipschitz with respect to deud_{\mathrm{eu}} on

{gK:deu(g,Abn)δ}.\{g\in K:d_{\mathrm{eu}}(g,\mathrm{Abn})\geq\delta\}.

The conjecture would, together with the cited Sard-property result and the arguments of the paper, imply Euclidean codimension-one rectifiability of sub-Finsler spheres for all sub-Finsler Carnot groups of step 22. The stated inverse-distance bound is known to be optimal in an example, but no faster divergence is currently known.
