Birbrair–Gabrielov conjecture on bi-Lipschitz equivalence of LNE surface germs
Birbrair–Gabrielov conjecture on bi-Lipschitz equivalence of LNE surface germs
Let and be two LNE semialgebraic surface germs. They are ambient topologically equivalent if there is an ambient homeomorphism taking one germ to the other, and outer bi-Lipschitz equivalent if such an ambient map can be chosen bi-Lipschitz for the outer metric.
Birbrair–Gabrielov conjecture. If and are ambient topologically equivalent and outer bi-Lipschitz equivalent, then and are ambient bi-Lipschitz equivalent.
The conjecture is false: the paper's construction of LNE Hölder triangles in with microknots gives a negative answer, producing examples that satisfy the stated topological and outer bi-Lipschitz equivalences but are not ambient bi-Lipschitz equivalent.
