Uniqueness of the scalar-curvature sign for Einstein metrics on closed smooth 4-manifolds

From papers

Let MM be a closed smooth 44-manifold. Uniqueness conjecture. MM admits Einstein metrics for at most one sign of the scalar curvature. The conjecture proposes that, for a fixed smooth structure, Einstein metrics cannot occur with both positive and negative scalar curvature; whether this holds in general is left open.
