Bernoulli foliation conjecture for asymptotically flat 3-manifolds

At least 5 years old · documented by

Let (M,g)(M,g) be an asymptotically flat 3-manifold with nonnegative scalar curvature and positive ADM mass. A Bernoulli surface is a surface S=∂AS=\partial A for a compact set AA such that there exists a harmonic function on M∖AM\setminus A approaching 11 at infinity, equal to zero on SS, and having constant normal derivative on SS. Bernoulli foliation conjecture. There exists a compact set KK such that M∖KM\setminus K is foliated by Bernoulli surfaces of spherical topology.

This conjecture is motivated by the canonical foliation of the asymptotic region by stable constant-mean-curvature surfaces. Results on Bernoulli foliations relative to a fixed surface are known, but the conjectured foliation relative to infinity remains open.
