Hamiltonian volume conjecture for vacuum data on hyperbolic 3-manifolds
Let be a compact -dimensional manifold of hyperbolic type. Let be vacuum data on , meaning that the vacuum Einstein constraint equations hold, and suppose that the mean curvature is constant. Define the reduced Hamiltonian by
Hamiltonian volume conjecture. The rescaled volume satisfies
where is the hyperbolic metric on with sectional curvature . Equality holds if and only if is isometric to and . This is proposed as an analogue of the positive mass theorem for spatially compact spacetimes and is presented as a consequence of the sigma-constant conjecture; the source does not specify whether it has been resolved.
