In mathematics, the Zeeman conjecture or Zeeman's collapsibility conjecture asks whether given a finite contractible 2-dimensional CW complex
It can nowadays be restated as the claim that for any 2-complex G which is homotopic to a point, there is an interval I such that some barycentric subdivision of G × I is contractible.
[1] The conjecture, due to Christopher Zeeman, implies the Poincaré conjecture and the Andrews–Curtis conjecture.
