Geometric inequality conjecture for asymptotically Euclidean immersions
Geometric inequality conjecture for asymptotically Euclidean immersions
Let and be integers such that and , and let , with , be an asymptotically Euclidean immersion of order . Let and denote the corresponding higher mean curvatures, let be the Euclidean position vector, and assume that is integrable and nonnegative.
Geometric inequality conjecture. One has
with equality if and only if is isometric to Euclidean space.
Together with the conjectured existence of asymptotically Euclidean isometric immersions, this would imply the positive mass conjecture for the Gauss--Bonnet--Chern mass through the paper's mass identity. The source gives no resolution of this conjecture.
