Differential Geometry 2020-06-24 v1

Abstract

We prove the positive mass theorem for manifolds with distributional curvature which have been studied in \cite{Lee2015} without spin condition. In our case, the manifold MM has asymptotically flat metric gC0Wq1,pg\in C^0\bigcap W^{1,p}_{-q}, p>np>n, q>n22q>\frac{n-2}{2}. We show that the generalized ADM mass mADM(M,g)m_{ADM}(M,g) is non-negative as long as q=n2q=n-2, and gg has non-negative distributional scalar curvature, bounded curvature in the Alexandrov sense with its distributional Ricci curvature belonging to certain weighted Lebesgue space and some extra conditions.
