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

Let (M,g0)(M,g_0) be a smooth compact Riemannian manifold of dimension n3n\geq 3 with boundary M\partial M. For constants c1,c2Rc_1,c_2\in\mathbb{R}, consider the problem

\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 c2Rc_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.
