Dafermos–Holzegel static uniqueness conjecture for the Eguchi-Hanson mass gap

Let a>0a>0, let nn be the integer determining the topology S3/ZnS^3/\mathbb{Z}_n, and consider static, globally regular, asymptotically locally anti-de Sitter solutions of the five-dimensional Einstein vacuum equations with that topology. Let MM be the mass, and let MEH,aM_{\mathrm{EH},a} be the Eguchi-Hanson-AdS mass. The mass-gap condition is

MEH,a<M<0.M_{\mathrm{EH},a}<M<0.

Dafermos–Holzegel conjecture. There are no static, globally regular asymptotically locally AdS solutions to the five-dimensional Einstein vacuum equations with topology S3/ZnS^3/\mathbb{Z}_n and mass MM satisfying

MEH,a<M<0.M_{\mathrm{EH},a}<M<0.

The conjecture is motivated by static uniqueness for exact anti-de Sitter space. The supplied text does not report a proof or refutation.
