The LCF Liouville conjecture for nonnegative scalar curvature

Let (Mn,g)(M^n,g), n3n\geq 3, be a complete, locally conformally flat manifold with scalar curvature R0R\geq 0, and let Φ:MnSn\Phi:M^n\to S^n be a conformal map. LCF Liouville conjecture. The map Φ\Phi is injective and Φ(M)\partial\Phi(M) has zero Newtonian capacity. This conjecture concerns the rigidity of conformal maps from complete locally conformally flat manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature. It is known for n7n\geq 7, and the paper states that its remaining cases follow from the positive mass conjecture with arbitrary ends and related results.
