Euclidean cone curvature-dimension conjecture

Let XX be an essentially non-branching metric-measure space, and let C(X)C(X) denote its Euclidean NN-cone. Euclidean cone curvature-dimension conjecture. The Euclidean NN-cone C(X)C(X) satisfies CD(0,N+1)\mathsf{CD}(0,N+1) if and only if XX satisfies CD(N1,N)\mathsf{CD}(N-1,N). This is the interval-base special case of the preceding warped-product conjecture and extends the corresponding established statement with the stronger RCD\mathsf{RCD} condition; the source gives no resolution of the CD\mathsf{CD} version.
