The generic-metric bound on intersecting mediatrices
Let be the universal cover of a -dimensional smooth Riemannian manifold . 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 on , the mediatrix intersection conjecture. No more than mediatrices intersect in any given point of . 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.
