Exterior scalar curvature comparison rigidity conjecture for convex domains

From papers

Let Ω\Omega be a convex smooth domain in Rn\mathbb R^n, with n3n\geq 3, and let (RnΩ,g)(\mathbb R^n\setminus\Omega,g) be an asymptotically flat Riemannian manifold. Let HgH_g and H0H_0 denote the boundary mean curvatures associated with gg and the Euclidean metric g0g_0, respectively. Exterior scalar curvature comparison conjecture. If

Hg2gH02g0,H_g^2g\leq H_0^2g_0,

then the ADM mass of (RnΩ,g)(\mathbb R^n\setminus\Omega,g) is non-negative, and it is zero if and only if gg is Euclidean. This is presented as a natural exterior generalization of Gromov's conjecture. The source does not provide a resolution of this proposed statement.
