Conjecture on diameters of irreducible spherical actions of large cohomogeneity

From papers

Let GG act irreducibly on the sphere SnS^n by cohomogeneity kk, where n2Zn\in 2\mathbb{Z}. For every ϵ>0\epsilon>0, and for all sufficiently large kk with n>kn>k, the quotient diameter diam(Sn/G)\operatorname{diam}(S^n/G) is within ϵ\epsilon of π/2\pi/2.

Large-cohomogeneity diameter conjecture. For every ϵ>0\epsilon>0 and all sufficiently large kk with n>kn>k,

diam(Sn/G)π2<ϵ.\left|\operatorname{diam}(S^n/G)-\frac{\pi}{2}\right|<\epsilon.

The conjecture concerns the asymptotic behavior of orbit-space diameters for irreducible actions on even-dimensional spheres. The preceding theorem proves exact minimum diameters for specified cohomogeneities and classes of actions, but does not establish this large-cohomogeneity limit.
