Conformal concordance implies isotopy of positive conformal classes
Let be a closed compact manifold admitting a positive-scalar-curvature metric, with . Let denote the space of positive conformal classes, and let be conformal classes. They are conformally concordant if
Conformal concordance conjecture. If and are conformally concordant, then they are isotopic in .
Conformal concordance is already known to be an equivalence relation, and isotopic positive conformal classes are conformally concordant. The conjecture asks whether the converse holds for dimensions , paralleling the corresponding question for positive-scalar-curvature metrics.
