Limiting Riemannian Penrose inequality conjecture for constrained maximizers

Let (M,g)(M,g) be an asymptotically flat nn-manifold, with 3n73 \leq n \leq 7, nonnegative scalar curvature, and nonempty, smooth, compact boundary Σ\Sigma. Fix A>0A>0 such that α(A)<A\alpha(A)<A, and let gC\overline g_C be a maximizer for αC(A)\alpha_C(A).

Limiting Riemannian Penrose inequality conjecture. Then

limCmADM(gC)limC12(min(Σ,gC)ωn1)n2n1.\lim_{C \to \infty} m_{ADM}(\overline g_C) \geq \lim_{C \to \infty} \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{\min(\Sigma,\overline g_C)}{\omega_{n-1}}\right)^{\frac{n-2}{n-1}}.

In other words, the Riemannian Penrose inequality should hold for (M,gC)(M,\overline g_C) in the limit CC \to \infty. The conjecture is motivated by the known Riemannian Penrose inequality in dimensions 33 through 77 and by the expected near-minimal behavior of the outermost minimal area enclosure for large CC; the limiting assertion remains open in the supplied source.
