Let $(X_{n},d_{n})_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ be a sequence of complete [geodesic metric spaces][2] verifying : - $X_{n}$ is a regular [CW complex][3] of *constant local dimension* $n$. - $X_{n}$ is of finite type, boundaryless, unbounded and uniform. - $X_{n+1}$ is [n-connected][4]. - $X_{n}$ is the $n$-skeleton of $X_{n+1}$ - The distance $d_{n}$ and $d_{n+1}$ generate the same topology on $X_{n}$. - $\forall x,y \in X_{n}$ : $d_{n+1}(x,y) \le d_{n}(x,y)$. - $(X_{n},d_{n})$ is [quasi-isometric][5] to $(X_{n+1},d_{n+1})$, established by the inclusion map $X_{n} \subset X_{n+1}$. - Let $d$ on $ \bigcup{X_{n}}$ defined by $d(x,y) = lim_{n \to \infty} d_{n}(x,y)$, then $d$ is a distance. **Remark** : There is a small abuse in the previous definition because $d_{n}(x,y)$ is defined only for $x, y \in X_{n}$. But because we take $n \to \infty$, there is no problem. **Definition** : Let $X:=\overline{\bigcup{X_{n}}}$ be the [completion][6] of the metric space $\bigcup{X_{n}}$ with $d$. > **Problem** : Is $X$ [weakly contractible][7] ? **Remark :** Some of these conditions could be useless for a proof, and others, highly generalized. ____ **Some definitions** : **Regular** (for a CW complex) : the attaching maps are homeomorphism (see [this post][8]). **Boundaryless** (for a regular CW complex) : the boundary of each closed cell is contained is the union of the boundaries of other closed cells. **Constant local dimension** : the topological dimension of all neighborhood of all point, is constant. **Finite type** : finitely many $r$-cells ending in a fixed $(r-1)$-cell. **Uniform** : For all $r$-cell $c_{1}$ and $c_{2}$, there is a neighborhood $n_{1}$ of $c_{1}$ and $n_{2}$ of $c_{1}$, such that $n_{1}$ is homeomorphic to $n_{2}$.
