Vacuum constraint extension conjecture for Bartnik boundary data
Vacuum constraint extension conjecture for Bartnik boundary data
Let be the space of smooth asymptotically flat Riemannian -manifolds with and compact boundary, and let consist of those inducing at the boundary. Let
Vacuum constraint extension conjecture. If is an extension of in , then there exists an extension in ; equivalently,
The conjecture asks whether every nonnegative-scalar-curvature extension can be replaced by a scalar-flat one with the same Bartnik boundary data. The source gives no general resolution.
