On Uniqueness of Conformally Compact Einstein Metrics with Homogeneous Conformal Infinity

Abstract

In this paper we show that for a Berger metric $\hat{g}$ on $S^3$, the non-positively curved conformally compact Einstein metric on the $4$-ball $B_1(0)$ with $(S^3, [\hat{g}])$ as its conformal infinity is unique up to isometries and it is the metric constructed by Pedersen \cite{Pedersen}. In particular, since in \cite{LiQingShi}, we proved that if the Yamabe constant of the conformal infinity $Y(S^3, [\hat{g}])$ is close to that of the round sphere then any conformally compact Einstein manifold filled in must be negatively curved and simply connected, therefore if $\hat{g}$ is a Berger metric on $S^3$ with $Y(S^3, [\hat{g}])$ close to that of the round metric, the conformally compact Einstein metric filled in is unique up to isometries.
