Cederbaum–Sakovich conjecture on convergence of the Riemannian center of mass

Let (M3,g)(M^3,g) be an asymptotically Euclidean manifold of order τ(1,12)\tau\in(-1,-\frac{1}{2}) with respect to a structure of infinity Φz\Phi_z and coordinates {zi}i=13\{z^i\}_{i=1}^3. Assume that ziRgL1(M,Φz)z^iR_g\in L^1(M,\Phi_z), where RgR_g is the scalar curvature, and let the center-of-mass expression referred to in the source be defined in the zz-coordinates. Cederbaum–Sakovich conjecture. There is a geometric condition on the coordinates {zi}i=13\{z^i\}_{i=1}^3 ensuring that the center of mass converges in the zz-coordinates. This is the Riemannian, time-symmetric version of the conjecture concerning convergence of the center of mass for general relativistic initial data; the source does not state whether it has been resolved.
