Akutagawa–Maeta conjecture for complete biharmonic Euclidean submanifolds
Akutagawa–Maeta conjecture for complete biharmonic Euclidean submanifolds
Let be a complete submanifold of Euclidean space . An isometric immersion is biharmonic when its bitension field satisfies , and is minimal when its mean curvature vanishes. Akutagawa–Maeta conjecture. Every complete biharmonic submanifold in is minimal. This is the global, completeness-assuming reformulation of Chen's conjecture. The source presents it as a problem in global differential geometry and does not give a resolution of the general case.
