Understanding the problem

Read the background

Every connected closed smooth Riemannian manifold of positive dimension whose global injectivity radius equals its diameter is, up to scale and isometry, a standard compact rank-one symmetric space.

Why it matters

If correct, resolves the metric Blaschke conjecture in all dimensions and model types.

What counts as progress

Does injectivity radius equal to diameter force a compact rank-one symmetric metric?
