Abstract

We establish the inequality for Henneaux-Teitelboim's total energy-momentum for asymptotically anti-de Sitter initial data sets which are asymptotic to arbitrary tt-slice in anti-de Sitter spacetime. In particular, when t=0t=0, it generalizes Chru\'{s}ciel-Maerten-Tod's inequality in the center of AdS mass coordinates. We also show that the determinant of energy-momentum endomorphism Q{\bf Q} is the geometric invariant of asymptotically anti-de Sitter spacetimes.
