Böhm–Lafuente's dynamical Alekseevskii conjecture
Let be a homogeneous space of dimension , and call a Ricci flow on immortal if it exists for all positive times . The universal cover of is the simply connected covering space of .
Dynamical Alekseevskii conjecture. If a homogeneous space has an immortal Ricci flow, then its universal cover is diffeomorphic to .
Lafuente proved the converse implication: if the universal cover of a homogeneous space is diffeomorphic to , then its Ricci flow is immortal. The conjecture is the dynamical version of the Alekseevskii conjecture, which states that a simply connected homogeneous negative-Einstein space is diffeomorphic to ; the paper's abstract says that the conjecture is proved in dimension five.
