Boundary length decrease conjecture for higher-dimensional free boundary minimal submanifolds
Boundary length decrease conjecture for higher-dimensional free boundary minimal submanifolds
Let be the unit ball with boundary . Let be a -dimensional minimal submanifold in with boundary , and suppose that the conormal vector of equals the position vector. For a conformal transformation of the ball, write for the boundary volume of the image. Higher-dimensional boundary length decrease conjecture. For every conformal transformation of ,
The claim extends the proved two-dimensional boundary length inequality to higher-dimensional free boundary minimal submanifolds; the source notes evidence for cones and a second-order boundary-volume decrease, but does not state a resolution.
