The general nilpotent nullhomotopy volume upper-bound conjecture

Let YY be a cc-step nilpotent space, and let Vδ⁡Yn(L)\operatorname{V\delta}^{n}_{Y}(L) denote its volume of nullhomotopies in degree nn at scale LL. General nilpotent upper-bound conjecture.

Vδ⁡Yn(L)=O(L3nc).\operatorname{V\delta}^{n}_{Y}(L)=O(L^{3nc}).

This conjecture proposes a refinement of the general upper bound for volume distortion of nullhomotopies in cc-step nilpotent spaces. The surrounding results establish coarser upper bounds, while this sharper exponent is presented as expected and remains unresolved in the supplied text.
