Dihedral rigidity conjecture for hyperbolic polyhedra
For a unit vector and , let
be the totally umbilic planes in the upper-half-space model of hyperbolic -space. Let be a hyperbolic reference polyhedron enclosed by such planes and convex in , with faces . Let be a Riemannian manifold diffeomorphic to , and define the outward dihedral angle by . Dihedral rigidity conjecture. If , the mean curvature of every face of is at least that of the corresponding face of , and every dihedral angle of is at most the corresponding angle of , then is isometric to . Mean curvature is computed with respect to the outward unit normal. This conjecture is motivated by hyperbolic mass and earlier dihedral rigidity conjectures; its resolution status is not established in the supplied text.
