Marques–Neves width stability conjecture for rotationally symmetric three-spheres
Marques–Neves width stability conjecture for rotationally symmetric three-spheres
Fix . Suppose , , are Riemannian 3-spheres satisfying
Marques–Neves' width stability conjecture. Then converges in the Sormani–Wenger intrinsic flat sense to the round unit sphere . The conjecture asks whether nearly sharp scalar-curvature and min-max-width bounds, together with uniform diameter and volume bounds, force convergence to the round metric; the paper proves this conjecture under rotational symmetry and extends the result to dimensions .
