Neumann Data and Second Variation Formula of Renormalized Area for Conformally Compact Static Spaces

Differential Geometry 2025-04-22 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we derive the first and second variation formulas for the renormalized area for static Einstein spaces along a specific direction, demonstrating that the negativity of the Neumann data implies instability. Consequently, we obtain a rigidity result for the case when the conformal boundary is a warped product torus, which strengthens the result presented in \cite{GSW}.
