Unique constant-curvature simultaneity distribution for conformally flat polar ends

Let (M,C)(M,\mathcal{C}) be a Riemann-Lorentz conformal space with polar end DD^{\infty}. Suppose that DD^{\infty} is conformal-flat. A simultaneity distribution is a distribution whose integral hypersurfaces represent simultaneity hypersurfaces. The polar-end constant-curvature conjecture. There exists, locally, a simultaneity distribution D\mathcal{D} of constant curvature, and D\mathcal{D} is univocally determined. Equivalently, the equation (τ=0)(\tau=0) of DD^{\infty} is univocally determined by the constant-curvature condition up to diffeomorphism. The conjecture expresses the claim that a conformally flat polar end determines a unique cosmologically relevant constant-curvature simultaneity structure, locally and up to diffeomorphism.
