Classification conjecture for stable capillary hypersurfaces in a Euclidean ball

At least 11 years old · documented by

Let MnM^n, with n≥3n\geq 3, be a capillary hypersurface in the unit Euclidean ball Bn+1B^{n+1}. Classification conjecture. The only stable such hypersurfaces are a totally geodesic hyperplane or a spherical cap.

The conjecture proposes a classification of stable capillary hypersurfaces, extending the known stability or instability of Delaunay-type examples. Its status is not resolved in the supplied source.
