A generalized positive energy theorem for spaces with asymptotic SUSY compactification involving non-symmetric data is proved. This work is motivated by the work of Dai [D1][D2], Hertog-Horowitz-Maeda [HHM], and Zhang [Z].

We extend the positive mass theorem proved previously by the author to the Lorentzian setting. This includes the original higher dimensional positive energy theorem whose spinor proof was given by Witten in dimension four and by Xiao Zhang…

We solve the Jang equation with respect to asymptotically hyperbolic "hyperboloidal" initial data. The results are applied to give a non-spinor proof of the positive mass theorem in the asymptotically hyperbolic setting. This work focuses…

The positive energy theorems are a fundamental pillar in mathematical general relativity. Originally proved by Schoen-Yau and later Witten, these theorems were established for asymptotically flat manifolds where the metric tends to the…

This short review surveys mass for two-dimensional asymptotically locally hyperbolic initial data sets. I explain the difficulties in defining mass in spatial dimension two, which are resolved via minimisation using a positive energy…

We derive necessary conditions for the spinorial Witten-Nester energy to be well-defined for asymptotically locally AdS spacetimes. We find that the conformal boundary should admit a spinor satisfying certain differential conditions and in…

We prove small data energy estimates of all orders of differentiability between past null infinity and future null infinity of de Sitter space for the conformally invariant Maxwell-scalar field system. This allows us to construct bounded…

Electrostatics on global Anti-de-Sitter (AdS) spacetime is sharply different from that on global Minkowski spacetime. It admits a multipolar expansion with everywhere regular, finite energy solutions, for every multipole moment except the…

In the first part of this work we show a uniqueness result for globally hyperbolic spacetimes with a spacelike conformal boundary satisfying the vacuum Einstein equations with positive cosmological constant. Then we present applications of…

In work with P. Chru\'sciel, L. Nguyen and T.-T. Paetz [8], a positive mass theorem was obtained for asymptotically locally hyperbolic manifolds with boundary, having a toroidal end. The proof made use of properties of marginally outer…

Extending the work of Park and Strominger, we prove a positive energy theorem for the exactly solvable quantum-corrected 2D dilaton gravity theories. The positive energy functional we construct is shown to be unique (within a reasonably…
