Anderson's generic regularity conjecture for the boundary map of Einstein 3-manifolds
Anderson's generic regularity conjecture for the boundary map of Einstein 3-manifolds
Let be a -dimensional manifold with smooth boundary satisfying . For fixed and , let denote the moduli space of Einstein metrics with cosmological constant , modulo the group of diffeomorphisms restricting to the identity on . For a metric , write for its induced boundary metric, let be its conformal class, let be its boundary mean curvature, and let be the space of conformal classes of Riemannian metrics on , identified with unit-determinant representatives. The boundary map is
Anderson's conjecture. For each fixed , the boundary map is regular at generic metrics, meaning that its linearization is surjective with split kernel at those metrics.
Because Einstein metrics in dimension have constant sectional curvature, they are more rigid than higher-dimensional Einstein metrics. The conjecture asserts that this rigidity does not prevent generic regularity of the boundary data map; its resolution is not supplied in the source, so it is recorded as open.
