The all-radii hyperbolic volume comparison conjecture

About 20 years old · traced to

Let (Mn,hyp)(M^n,hyp) be a closed hyperbolic manifold, and let gg be another metric on MM with Vol(M,g)<Vol(M,hyp)Vol(M,g)<Vol(M,hyp). Hyperbolic volume comparison conjecture.

V(M~,g~)(R)>VHn(R)V_{(\widetilde M,\widetilde g)}(R)>V_{\mathbb H^n}(R)

for all RR. This strengthens the asymptotic comparison theorem discussed in the paper by requiring the inequality at every radius; the supplied text gives no resolution status.
