The higher-dimensional double midset conjecture

About 24 years old · traced to

Let XX be a non-degenerate compact metric space, and suppose that every midset of XX is homeomorphic to the (n−1)(n-1)-sphere Sn−1S^{n-1}. Higher-dimensional double midset conjecture. Then XX is homeomorphic to the nn-sphere SnS^n. This extends the double midset conjecture to the setting in which all midsets have the topology of spheres; the source does not provide a resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
