Abstract

Let (M,g)(M,g) be a complete connected nn-dimensional Riemannian spin manifold without boundary such that the scalar curvature satisfies Rgn(n1)R_g\geq -n(n-1) and EM\mathcal{E}\subset M be an asymptotically hyperbolic end, we prove that the mass functional of the end E\mathcal{E} is timelike future-directed or zero. Moreover, it vanishes if and only if (M,g)(M,g) is isometric to the hyperbolic space. We also consider the mass of an asymptotically hyperbolic manifold with compact boundary, we prove the mass is timelike future-directed if the mean curvature of the boundary is bounded from below by a function defined using distance estimates. As an application, the mass is timelike future-directed if the mean curvature of the boundary is bounded from below by (n1)-(n-1) or the scalar curvature satisfies Rg(1+κ)n(n1)R_g\geq (-1+\kappa)n(n-1) for any positive constant κ\kappa less than one.
