Conjecture on complete fractional Yamabe metrics with high-dimensional singularities

Let n3n\geq 3, s(0,1)s\in(0,1), and let k((n+2s)/2,n)k\in((n+2s)/2,n) satisfy, for some j=0,1,j=0,1,\dots, either

n+2s2+4j<k<n2s2+2+4j,\frac{n+2s}{2}+4j<k<\frac{n-2s}{2}+2+4j,

or

n+2s2+2+4j<kn2s2+4+4j.\frac{n+2s}{2}+2+4j<k\leq\frac{n-2s}{2}+4+4j.

Let Σk\Sigma^k be a smooth compact kk-dimensional submanifold without boundary in Rn\mathbb{R}^n.

High-dimensional fractional Yamabe singularity conjecture. There exists a complete Yamabe metric that is singular on Σk\Sigma^k.

This conjecture addresses non-distributional solutions with singularities of dimension above the distributional maximality threshold (n2s)/2(n-2s)/2. The source presents these parameter ranges as conjectural, and no resolution is given in the supplied text.
