CAT(0) equivalence conjecture for polynomial space and the dual braid complex
CAT(0) equivalence conjecture for polynomial space and the dual braid complex
Let be the space of all monic degree- complex polynomials up to translation with its stratified Euclidean metric, and let be the dual braid complex with its orthoscheme metric. CAT(0) equivalence conjecture. The stratified Euclidean metric on is if and only if the orthoscheme metric on is locally . This conjecture would make the polynomial-space curvature conjecture equivalent to the local curvature conjecture for the dual braid complex; the source gives no resolution status.
