The Green's function mass conjecture for the fractional Yamabe problem

Less than 1 year old · traced to

Let (X,g+)(X,g_+) be a conformally compact Einstein manifold with compactification (X‾,g‾)(\overline X,\overline g) and boundary NN, and suppose that Λγ(N,[g‾∣N])>0\Lambda^\gamma(N,[\overline g|_N])>0. Let GpG_p be the positive Green's function associated to a point p∈Np\in N. If either (N,[g‾∣N])(N,[\overline g|_N]) is locally conformally flat or n=2n=2, then, for q∈X‾q\in\overline X near pp, GpG_p has the expansion

Gp(q)=cn,γdg‾(q,p)2γ−n+A+O′(dg‾(q,p)min⁡{1,2γ}),G_p(q)=c_{n,\gamma}d_{\overline g}(q,p)^{2\gamma-n}+A+O'(d_{\overline g}(q,p)^{\min\{1,2\gamma\}}),

where A∈RA\in\mathbb R, cn,γ>0c_{n,\gamma}>0, and dg‾(⋅,⋅)d_{\overline g}(\cdot,\cdot) is the distance function. Green's function mass conjecture. The constant AA satisfies A≥0A\geq 0, with equality if and only if (X‾,g‾)(\overline X,\overline g) is conformally diffeomorphic to the standard unit ball in Rn+1\mathbb R^{n+1}. The assertion is presented in the context of the fractional Yamabe problem and is attributed to Kim, Musso, and Wei; no resolution is supplied in the source.
