Ketterer’s synthetic curvature conjecture for general -warped products
Let be a metric-measure base of dimension , let be an essentially non-branching metric-measure space, and let be a Lipschitz nonnegative warping function. Let be obtained by gluing two copies of along the closure of the boundary points where is nonvanishing, and let be the tautological extension. Write
where is the Alexandrov differential. General -warped-product curvature conjecture. The -warped product of , , and satisfies if is , is -concave, has and is -concave, and is an essentially non-branching space. This proposes a synthetic curvature-dimension theorem extending the preceding smooth and interval-base results; the source presents it as a conjectural general statement.
