Abstract

In this paper, we derive general monotone quantities and geometric inequalities associated with pp-capacitary functions in asymptotically flat 33-manifolds with simple topology and nonnegative scalar curvature. The inequalities become equalities on the spatial Schwarzschild manifolds outside rotationally symmetric spheres. This generalizes Miao's result \cite{M} from p=2p=2 to p(1,3)p\in (1, 3). As applications, we recover mass-to-pp-capacity and pp-capacity-to-area inequalities due to Bray-Miao \cite{BM} and Xiao \cite{Xiao}.

Comments

In this version, we extended the range of $k$ from $[0, 1]$ to $(-1, 1]$ in Theorem 1.1. As a consequence, we removed the assumption of nonnegative Hawking mass in Theorem 1.3
