In this short paper, we review recent progress on the positive mass theorem for spacelike hypersurfaces which approach to null infinity in asymptotically flat spacetimes. We use it to prove, if the functions $c(u, \theta, \psi)$, $d(u,…

A universal inequality that bounds the angular momentum of a body by the square of its size is presented and heuristic physical arguments are given to support it. We prove a version of this inequality, as consequence of Einstein equations,…

We establish a new CMC (constant mean curvature) existence result for cosmological spacetimes, i.e., globally hyperbolic spacetimes with compact Cauchy surfaces satisfying the strong energy condition. If the spacetime contains an expanding…

We prove an upper bound for angular-momentum and charge in terms of the mass for electro-vacuum asymptotically flat axisymmetric initial data sets with simply connected orbit space.

We find new classes of exact solutions of the initial momentum constraint for vacuum Einstein's equations. Considered data are either invariant under a continuous symmetry or they are assumed to have the exterior curvature tensor of a…

We present a definition of angular momentum for radiative spacetimes which does not suffer from any ambiguity of supertranslations. We succeed in providing an appropriate notion of {\it intrinsic} angular momentum; and at the same time a…

We extend the validity of Dain's angular-momentum inequality to maximal, asymptotically flat, initial data sets on a simply connected manifold with several asymptotically flat ends which are invariant under a U(1) action and which admit a…

Bekenstein bounds for the entropy of a body imply an universal inequality between size, energy, angular momentum and charge. We prove this inequality in Electromagnetism. We also prove it, for the particular case of zero angular momentum,…

The main result of this paper is a proof that there are examples of spatially compact solutions of the Einstein-dust equations which only exist for an arbitrarily small amount of CMC time. While this fact is plausible, it is not trivial to…
