Uniqueness conjecture for constant Gaussian-Minkowski data in higher dimensions

About 3 years old · traced to

Let n≥3n\geq 3, and let hh be a nonnegative solution on the unit sphere Sn−1S^{n-1} of

1(2π)ne−∣∇h∣2+h22det⁡(∇2h+hI)=c>0.\frac{1}{(\sqrt{2\pi})^n}e^{-\frac{|\nabla h|^2+h^2}{2}}\det(\nabla^2h+hI)=c>0.

Higher-dimensional constant-data uniqueness conjecture. Then hh must be a constant solution.

The equation is the higher-dimensional analogue of the Gaussian-Minkowski equation studied in the paper. The preceding discussion explains that extending the existence results to higher dimensions depends on establishing uniqueness for constant ff; the status of this assertion is not resolved in the supplied text.
