Ricci eigenvalue conjecture for immersions into the unit ball
Ricci eigenvalue conjecture for immersions into the unit ball
Let be a closed manifold and let be an immersion. Write for the induced metric, and let denote its minimal normal curvature. Suppose that is a metric conformally equivalent to , and let be the eigenvalues of the Ricci tensor of at any point. Ricci eigenvalue conjecture. If
then is conformally equivalent to a metric such that
This condition could yield a matching lower bound for , but the conjecture remains open.
