Weighted Dirichlet-minimization conjecture for homeomorphisms between spherical rings

From papers

Let A(r,R)\mathbb{A}(r,R) and A(r,R)\mathbb{A}(r_\ast,R_\ast) be spherical rings in Rn\mathbf{R}^n, and let F\mathcal{F} be the family of homeomorphisms between them belonging to W1,n1\mathscr{W}^{1,n-1}. For fFf\in\mathcal{F}, define the weighted Dirichlet integral by

F[f]=A(r,R)Dfn1fn1dx,\mathscr{F}[f]=\int_{\mathbb{A}(r,R)}\frac{\lVert Df\rVert^{n-1}}{|f|^{n-1}}\,dx,

where the weight is (y)=y1n\wp(y)=|y|^{1-n}. Weighted Dirichlet-minimization conjecture. The integral F[f]\mathscr{F}[f] achieves its minimum among F\mathcal{F} for generalized-radial diffeomorphisms between the annuli. This predicts that the minimizers of the weighted variational problem are generalized-radial maps.
