The strict isoperimetric-ratio conjecture for conformal manifolds with boundary
The strict isoperimetric-ratio conjecture for conformal manifolds with boundary
Let , let be a smooth compact Riemannian manifold with nonempty boundary, and suppose that . For a conformal metric with zero scalar curvature, let denote the isoperimetric ratio and define
Here is the unit ball in , is the Euclidean metric, and is the corresponding Euclidean-ball value. Strict isoperimetric-ratio conjecture. If is not conformally diffeomorphic to , then
This is the analogue of the strict inequality in the Yamabe problem. Together with the theorem that the supremum is achieved whenever it is strictly larger than the Euclidean-ball value, the conjecture would reduce the existence question to the conformal Euclidean ball case.
