Monotonicity conjecture for the connectivity of Čech complexes of spheres
Monotonicity conjecture for the connectivity of Čech complexes of spheres
For , let be the unit -sphere and let denote its Čech complex at scale . Write for the connectivity of a complex . Connectivity monotonicity conjecture. The function
is non-decreasing on . This is known for , and for the complexes are known to be simply connected; for , it remains unknown whether the connectivity stays at least once .
