Non-surjectivity of the static vacuum boundary map near Schwarzschild data

Let γMetm,α(S2)\gamma\in\operatorname{Met}^{m,\alpha}(S^2) have non-constant Gauss curvature, and let C+m1,α(S2)C_+^{m-1,\alpha}(S^2) denote the positive mean-curvature data. Non-surjectivity of the static vacuum boundary map near Schwarzschild data. There is a neighborhood UγC+m1,α(S2)U_\gamma\subset C_+^{m-1,\alpha}(S^2) with 0Uγ0\in\overline{U_\gamma} such that, for every HUγH\in U_\gamma, the boundary data (γ,H)(\gamma,H) do not bound a static vacuum metric (M,g,u)(M,g,u). In particular, ΠB\Pi_B is not surjective near the Schwarzschild metric. The source marks this as open; it describes a second region where the preceding conjecture breaks down and asks whether such extensions exist when the boundary is not outer-minimizing.
