Fefferman–Graham flatness conjecture for Poincaré–Einstein representatives

Let (Md,c)(M^d,\boldsymbol{c}) with dd even be a Fefferman–Graham-flat conformal manifold whose boundary satisfies

II˚=III˚==d/2˚=0.\mathring{\rm{ I\hspace{-.2mm} I}} = {\mathring{{\bf\rm I\hspace{-.2mm} I \hspace{-.2mm} I}}{\hspace{.2mm}}}{} = \cdots = \mathring{\underline{\overline{\rm{d/2}}}} = 0.

Fefferman–Graham flatness conjecture. There exists a metric representative in (M+,c)(M_+,\boldsymbol{c}) that is formally to all orders Poincaré–Einstein.

This conjecture proposes a higher-dimensional extension of the Fefferman–Graham flat problem: the vanishing of the successive trace-free second fundamental forms should allow the construction of a formally Poincaré–Einstein representative. The source notes that the case d=6d=6 has been examined, while the general statement remains unresolved.
