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.
