Half-space rigidity conjecture for semilinear solutions in dimension three

About 7 years old · traced to

Let f∈C0∞(R)f\in C_0^\infty(\mathbb{R}) satisfy f≥0f\ge0, and let uu solve

Δu=f(u)in R3.\Delta u=f(u)\quad\text{in }\mathbb{R}^3.

Assume that uu has finitely many critical points and that u(x)>0u(x)>0 implies x1>0x_1>0. Half-space rigidity conjecture. Then uu is one-dimensional in the sense of the one-dimensional rigidity conjecture; equivalently, after a rigid motion it has the corresponding one-dimensional profile.

This is a semilinear analogue of half-space rigidity results for free-boundary problems and minimal surfaces. The source cites related results but does not state that this conjecture has been resolved.
