Nonpositive-curvature local diffeomorphism conjecture for cusp metrics

From papers

Let (N,g0)(N,g_{0}) be a Poincaré–Einstein metric with cusps, let KNK_{N} denote its sectional curvature, and let Φg0\Phi^{g_{0}} be the Einstein-equation map defined near g0g_{0}. Let Π\Pi be the boundary map from Poincaré–Einstein metrics with cusps on NN to the space C{\mathcal C} of conformal classes at infinity.

Nonpositive-curvature local diffeomorphism conjecture. If

KN0,K_{N}\leq 0,

then Φg0\Phi^{g_{0}} is a submersion at g0g_{0}, and Π\Pi is a diffeomorphism in a neighborhood of g0g_{0}.

This conjecture concerns the local deformation theory of cusp Poincaré–Einstein metrics and would imply that their conformal infinities locally determine the metrics smoothly. The supplied text gives no resolution.
