Arnold's signature conjecture for domains in real projective space
Consider a domain bounded by a connected smooth hypersurface . Suppose that the second fundamental form of is non-degenerate at every point and has signature , necessarily the same at all points, with respect to the outward normal. Arnold Conjecture. There exist a projective subspace of dimension contained in and a projective subspace of dimension that does not intersect . This is the signature formulation of Arnold's proposed extension of the convex-body theorem; the paper proves only the first nontrivial case under additional assumptions, leaving the general statement open.
