Classification conjecture for three-dimensional manifolds with invariant horospherical mean curvature

Let (X,g)(X,g) be a 33-dimensional simply connected Riemannian manifold with invariant horospherical mean curvature function, meaning that its horospherical mean curvature function is invariant in the sense defined in the source. The spaces R3\mathbb{R}^3, H2×R\mathbb{H}^2 \times \mathbb{R}, and H3\mathbb{H}^3 are considered up to scaling.

Three-dimensional classification conjecture. If (X,g)(X,g) is a 33-dimensional simply connected manifold with invariant horospherical mean curvature function, then XX is, up to scaling, isometric to R3\mathbb{R}^3, H2×R\mathbb{H}^2 \times \mathbb{R}, or H3\mathbb{H}^3.

This conjecture is motivated by the classification results for the three-dimensional cases established earlier in the paper. The source does not state that the conjecture has been proved or disproved.
