Zhou's conjecture on CMC hypersurfaces in asymptotically flat manifolds

Let MM be an asymptotically flat manifold of low dimension, and let cc be a prescribed mean curvature. A closed hypersurface in MM has constant mean curvature cc when its mean curvature is everywhere equal to cc. Zhou's conjecture. MM contains at least one closed hypersurface with constant mean curvature cc for every prescribed cc. This conjecture extends the existence theory for closed constant-mean-curvature hypersurfaces to certain complete, non-compact asymptotically flat manifolds; the precise dimensional range and hypotheses are not specified in the supplied statement, and its resolution is therefore not established here.
