Cylinder conjecture for skew branes over non-centrally symmetric hypersurfaces

From papers

Let M2n1\be2R2nM^{2n-1}\be2 {\bf R}^{2n} be a non-centrally symmetric hypersurface. A skew brane is an (2n1)(2n-1)-dimensional submanifold of R2n+1=R2n\be2R{\bf R}^{2n+1}={\bf R}^{2n}\be2 {\bf R}; the vertical cylinder over MM is M\be2RM\be2 {\bf R}. Cylinder conjecture. For every non-centrally symmetric M2n1\be2R2nM^{2n-1}\be2 {\bf R}^{2n} there exists a skew brane N2n1\be2R2n+1=R2n\be2RN^{2n-1}\be2 {\bf R}^{2n+1}={\bf R}^{2n}\be2 {\bf R} which is a section of the vertical cylinder over MM. The conjecture asserts existence of such a skew brane for every non-centrally symmetric hypersurface; the source does not provide a resolution.
