Horizonless static vacuum rigidity ($U=0,\gamma \cong {\mathbb{R}}^3$)

On a complete nonsingular spatial quotient with no inner boundary and standard asymptotic flatness, a bounded harmonic function tending to zero on all ends is zero. The static vacuum conformal spatial metric is then Ricci flat; three-dimensional curvature from the Ricci tensor makes it flat. Completeness and an ordinary Euclidean asymptotic end exclude nontrivial flat quotients, yielding Minkowski spacetime with the standard global time coordinate.
