Abstract

Consider a complete asymptotically flat 3-manifold MM with non-negative scalar curvature and non-empty minimal boundary Σ\Sigma. Fix a number 1<p<31 < p < 3. We derive monotone quantities for pp-harmonic functions on MM which become constant on Schwarzschild. These monotonicity formulas imply a sharp mass-capacity estimate relating the ADM mass of MM with the pp-capacity of Σ\Sigma in MM, which was first proved by Xiao using weak inverse mean curvature flow.
