We use planar coordinates as well as hyperbolic coordinates to separate the de Sitter spacetime into two parts. These two ways of cutting the de Sitter give rise to two different spatial infinities. For spacetimes which are asymptotic to…

Following the Witten-Nester formalism, we present a useful prescription using Weyl spinors towards the positivity of mass. As a generalization of arXiv:1310.1663, we show that some "positivity conditions" must be imposed upon the gauge…

We study the qualitative stability of two classes of Sobolev inequalities on Riemannian manifolds. In the case of positive Ricci curvature, we prove that an almost extremal function for the sharp Sobolev inequality is close to an extremal…

In this note, we show that the weighted mass of Baldauf and Ozuch (2022) can be derived as a natural geometric mass invariant following Michel (2011), for a certain weighted curvature map. An associated weighted centre of mass definition is…

We prove a curvature-dimension criterion and obtain logarithmic Sobolev inequalities for generalised Cauchy measures with optimal weights and explicit constants. In the one-dimensional case, this constant is even optimal. From these…

The rigidity of the positive mass theorem states that the only complete asymptotically flat manifold of nonnegative scalar curvature and zero mass is Euclidean space. We prove a corresponding stability theorem for spaces that can be…

Let $M$ be a topological spherical space form, i.e. a smooth manifold whose universal cover is a homotopy sphere. We determine the number of path components of the space and moduli space of Riemannian metrics with positive scalar curvature…

The ADM mass, viewed as a functional on the space of asymptotically flat Riemannian metrics of nonnegative scalar curvature, fails to be continuous for many natural topologies. In this paper we prove that lower semicontinuity holds in…

For manifolds with a distinguished asymptotically flat end, we prove a density theorem which produces harmonic asymptotics on the distinguished end, while allowing for points of incompleteness (or negative scalar curvature) away from this…

The rigidity of the Positive Mass Theorem states that the only complete asymptotically flat manifold of nonnegative scalar curvature and zero mass is Euclidean space. We study the stability of this statement for spaces that can be realized…

We prove that any smooth Riemannian manifold of non-negative scalar curvature and with a strictly mean convex and compact boundary component can be (C^2) extended beyond the component to have non-negative scalar curvature and to enjoy…

Let $(M,g_0)$ be a closed Riemannian manifold of dimension $n \geq 25$ with positive Yamabe invariant $Y(M,g_0)>0$ and positive fourth-order invariant $Y_4(M,g_0)>0$. We show that, arbitrarily $C^1$-close to $g_0$, there exists a Riemannian…

In this work we construct a sequence of Riemannian metrics on the three-sphere with scalar curvature greater than or equal to $6$ and arbitrarily large widths. Our procedure is based on the connected sum construction of positive scalar…

We study connections among the ADM mass, positive harmonic functions tending to zero at infinity, and the capacity of the boundary of asymptotically flat $3$-manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature. First we give new formulae that…

We show the following two extensions of the standard positive mass theorem (one for either sign): Let (N,g) and (N,g') be asymptotically flat Riemannian 3-manifolds with compact interior and finite mass, such that g and g' are twice Hoelder…
