Huisken's Penrose inequality conjecture for asymptotically flat support surfaces

Let SS be an asymptotically flat support surface with mean curvature HS0H^S\geq 0. Let SSS'\subset S be an exterior surface with free boundary minimal surface Σ\Sigma and exterior mass mextm_{ext}; assume that Σ\Sigma is connected. Huisken's conjecture. One should have

mextΣπm_{ext}\geq\sqrt{\frac{|\Sigma|}{\pi}}

with equality if and only if SS' is a half-catenoid and Σ\Sigma is the free boundary disc contained in the symmetry plane of the catenoid. This is the precise formulation attributed to Volkmann's thesis and gives the support-surface analogue of the Riemannian Penrose inequality; its resolution is not stated in the supplied text.
