The generic-metric bound on intersecting mediatrices

From papers

Let (X,g~)(X,\tilde g) be the universal cover of a dd-dimensional smooth Riemannian manifold (M,g)(M,g). A mediatrix is the locus equidistant from the reference point and one of its nontrivial translates under the deck-transformation group. For a generic metric gg on MM, the mediatrix intersection conjecture. No more than dd mediatrices intersect in any given point yy of XX. This predicts a general-position bound on the number of geodesics focusing at a point in the universal cover; the supplied text gives no resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
