CAT(0) conjecture for the stratified Euclidean metric on polynomial space
CAT(0) conjecture for the stratified Euclidean metric on polynomial space
Let be the space of all monic degree- complex polynomials up to translation, equipped with its stratified Euclidean metric. CAT(0) conjecture. The metric on is . This would give nonpositive curvature for a natural piecewise Euclidean metric on polynomial space and, for each fixed , would imply the corresponding local property of the dual braid complex and the property of the -strand braid group. Its general status is not specified in the source.
