Abstract: In this paper, we give an affirmative answer to Gromov's conjecture ([3, Conjecture E]) by establishing an optimal Lipschitz lower bound for a class of smooth functions on orientable open 3-manifolds with uniformly positive sectional curvatures. For rigidity we show that the universal covering of the given manifold must be mathbfR2imes(−c,c) with some doubly warped product metric if the optimal bound is attained. This gives a characterization for doubly warped product metrics with positive constant curvature. As a corollary, we also obtain a focal radius estimate for immersed toruses in 3-spheres with positive sectional curvatures.
