Generalised Geroch conjecture with boundary
Generalised Geroch conjecture with boundary
Let be such that the generalised Geroch conjecture without boundary holds for all -manifolds. Let be an -manifold with non-empty boundary, and form by attaching a torus in the interior. A boundary is mean convex when its mean curvature is non-negative at every boundary point. Generalised Geroch conjecture with boundary. The manifold does not admit a complete Riemannian metric of positive scalar curvature with mean convex boundary. This boundary version is conditional on the corresponding conjecture without boundary and is presented as a consequence in the source; its status as a standalone general statement is therefore open.
