We prove a Riemannian positive mass theorem for manifolds with a single asymptotically flat end, but otherwise arbitrary other ends, which can be incomplete and contain negative scalar curvature. The incompleteness and negativity is…

We provide integral formulae for the ADM mass of asymptotically flat hypersurfaces in Riemannian manifolds with a certain warped product structure in a neighborhood of infinity, thus extending Lam's recent results on Euclidean graphs to…

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…

We review notions of mass of asymptotically locally Anti-de Sitter three-dimensional spacetimes, and apply them to some known solutions. For two-dimensional general relativistic initial data sets the mass is not invariant under asymptotic…

We show that the mass of an asymptotically hyperbolic manifold with a noncompact boundary can be evaluated via the Ricci tensor and the second fundamental form by using purely coordinates. The method is analog to Miao-Tam's approach to the…

For a given admissible vector field $X$, we define a geometric quantity for asymptotically flat $3$--manifolds, called $X$--ADM mass and we establish a relative positive mass theorem via a monotonicity formula along the level sets of a…

In this paper, we show that for a sequence of orientable complete uniformly asymptotically flat $3$-manifolds $(M_i , g_i)$ with nonnegative scalar curvature and ADM mass $m(g_i)$ tending to zero, by subtracting some open subsets $Z_i$,…

We prove the positive mass theorem for asymptotical flat (AF for short) manifolds with finitely many isolated conical singularities. We do not impose the spin condition. Instead we use the conformal blow up technique which dates back to…

An explicit lower bound for the mass of an asymptotically flat Riemannian 3-manifold is given in terms of linear growth harmonic functions and scalar curvature. As a consequence, a new proof of the positive mass theorem is achieved in…
