Finite-volume scalar-curvature volume inequality
Finite-volume scalar-curvature volume inequality
Let be a complete finite-volume -manifold with minimal surface boundary, scalar curvature , and let denote its double. Write for the simplicial volume of .
Finite-volume volume conjecture. The volume satisfies
with equality if and only if has geodesic boundary.
The source identifies this as an unresolved case needed to extend the main theorem to noncompact manifolds; it specifically notes difficulty proving the theorem in this setting.
