Volume rigidity conjecture for closed hyperbolic manifolds

About 1 year old · traced to

Let (Mn,gH)(M^n,g_H) be a closed hyperbolic nn-manifold with n≥5n\geq 5, and let gg be a Riemannian metric on MM satisfying

Sc⁡g=−n(n−1),Vol⁡g(Mn)=Vol⁡gH(Mn).\operatorname{Sc}_g=-n(n-1),\qquad \operatorname{Vol}_g(M^n)=\operatorname{Vol}_{g_H}(M^n).

Volume rigidity conjecture. The metric gg is isometric to the hyperbolic metric gHg_H.

This conjecture proposes rigidity at fixed negative scalar curvature and hyperbolic volume in dimensions at least five. The source provides no resolution of the conjecture.
