Abstract: In this short note, we formulate three problems relating to nonnegative scalar curvature (NNSC) fill-ins. Loosely speaking, the first two problems focus on: When are $(n-1)$-dimensional Bartnik data $\big(\Sigma_i ^{n-1}, \gamma_i, H_i\big)$, $i=1,2$, NNSC-cobordant? (i.e., there is an $n$-dimensional compact Riemannian manifold $\big(\Omega^n, g\big)$ with scalar curvature $R(g)\geq 0$ and the boundary $\partial \Omega=\Sigma_{1} \cup \Sigma_{2}$ such that $\gamma_i$ is the metric on $\Sigma_i ^{n-1}$ induced by $g$, and $H_i$ is the mean curvature of $\Sigma_i$ in $\big(\Omega^n, g\big)$). If $\big(\mathbb{S}^{n-1},\gamma_{\rm std},0\big)$ is positive scalar curvature (PSC) cobordant to $\big(\Sigma_1 ^{n-1}, \gamma_1, H_1\big)$, where $\big(\mathbb{S}^{n-1}, \gamma_{\rm std}\big)$ denotes the standard round unit sphere then $\big(\Sigma_1 ^{n-1}, \gamma_1, H_1\big)$ admits an NNSC fill-in. Just as Gromov's conjecture is connected with positive mass theorem, our problems are connected with Penrose inequality, at least in the case of $n=3$. Our third problem is on $\Lambda\big(\Sigma^{n-1}, \gamma\big)$ defined below.

Keywords: scalar curvature, NNSC-cobordism, quasi-local mass, fill-ins.
