Sharp timelike asymptotic volume ratio inequality for singularity formation

From papers

Let (X,d,m,,,τ)(X,\mathsf d,\mathfrak m, \ll, \leq, \tau) be a measured Lorentzian space, let VXV\subset X be the achronal set occurring in the hypotheses of Theorem, and let TAVRV,N(X)\mathrm{TAVR}_{V,N}(X) denote its NN-timelike asymptotic volume ratio. Write m+(V)\mathfrak m^+(V) for the future boundary measure and I(V)I^-(V) for the chronological past of VV. Sharp timelike asymptotic volume ratio conjecture. For every N2N\ge 2 there exists a constant CN>0C_N>0 such that, if XX and VXV\subset X are as in Theorem, then

CN  TAVRV,N(X)  m(I(V))N1m+(V)N.C_N\;\mathrm{TAVR}_{V,N}(X)\;\mathfrak m(I^-(V))^{N-1} \le \mathfrak m^+(V)^N.

This is proposed as a sharp form of the preceding singularity-volume estimate, with validity in every dimension. The conjecture relates the timelike asymptotic volume growth of the future of VV to the volume of its chronological past and its future boundary measure; its resolution is not supplied in the source.
