Han–Li conjecture for the constant scalar curvature and mean curvature problem

At least 9 years old · documented by

Let (M,g0)(M,g_0) be a smooth compact Riemannian manifold of dimension n≥3n\geq 3 with boundary ∂M\partial M. For constants c1,c2∈Rc_1,c_2\in\mathbb{R}, consider the problem

{−4(n−1)n−2Δg0u+Rg0u=c1un+2n−2 in M,2n−2∂u∂νg0+hg0u=c2unn−2 on ∂M,\left\{\begin{array}{ll} -\frac{4(n-1)}{n-2}\Delta_{g_0}u+R_{g_0}u=c_1u^{\frac{n+2}{n-2}}&\text{ in }M,\\\\ \frac{2}{n-2}\frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu_{g_0}}+h_{g_0}u=c_2u^{\frac{n}{n-2}}&\text{ on }\partial M, \end{array}\right.

where uu is required to be positive, and let Y(M,∂M)Y(M,\partial M) denote the positive conformal invariant associated with this problem. Han–Li conjecture. If Y(M,∂M)>0Y(M,\partial M)>0, then the problem is solvable for every positive constant c1c_1 and every c2∈Rc_2\in\mathbb{R}. This conjecture concerns existence of conformal metrics with constant scalar curvature and constant boundary mean curvature; the supplied text gives no resolution status.
