Work of D. Stern and Bray-Kazaras-Khuri-Stern provide differential-geometric identities which relate the scalar curvature of Riemannian 3-manifolds to global invariants in terms of harmonic functions. These quantitative formulas are useful…
In this paper, we study the boundary behaviors of compact manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature and with nonempty boundary. Using a general version of Positive Mass Theorem of Schoen-Yau and Witten, we prove the following theorem: For…
In this note, we consider the isoperimetric inequality on an asymptotically flat manifold with nonnegative scalar curvature, and improve it by using Hawking mass. We also obtain a rigidity result when equality holds for the classical…
In this paper, we prove for $n\leq 7$ that if a differentiable $n$-manifold contains a relatively incompressible essential hypersurface in some class $\mathcal C_{deg}$, then it admits no complete metric with positive scalar curvature.…
We revisit the interplay between the mass, the center of mass and the large scale behavior of certain isoperimetric quotients in the setting of asymptotically flat $3$-manifolds (both without and with a non-compact boundary). In the…
We study a class of non-smooth asymptotically flat manifolds on which metrics fails to be $C^1$ across a hypersurface $\Sigma$. We first give an approximation scheme to mollify the metric, then we prove that the Positive Mass Theorem still…
We present a set of global invariants, called "mass integrals", which can be defined for a large class of asymptotically hyperbolic Riemannian manifolds. When the "boundary at infinity" has spherical topology one single invariant is…
The study of stable minimal surfaces in Riemannian $3$-manifolds $(M, g)$ with non-negative scalar curvature has a rich history. In this paper, we prove rigidity of such surfaces when $(M, g)$ is asymptotically flat and has horizon…
In this paper we show that one can have asymptotically de Sitter (dS), anti-de Sitter (AdS) and flat solutions in Gauss-Bonnet gravity without any need to a cosmological constant term in field equations. First, we introduce static solutions…
In this paper, we want to prove positive mass theorems for ALF and ALG manifolds with model spaces $\mathbb R^{n-1}\times \mathbb S^1$ and $\mathbb R^{n-2}\times \mathbb T^2$ respectively in dimensions no greater than $7$ (Theorem…
Motivated by Witten's spinor proof of the positive mass theorem, we analyze asymptotically constant harmonic spinors on complete asymptotically flat nonspin manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature.
For matrix analogues of embedded surfaces we define discrete curvatures and Euler characteristics, and a non-commutative Gauss--Bonnet theorem is shown to follow. We derive simple expressions for the discrete Gauss curvature in terms of…
We show a spacetime positive mass theorem for asymptotically flat initial data sets with a noncompact boundary. We develop a mass type invariant and a boundary dominant energy condition. Our proof is based on spinors.
We prove positivity of energy for a class of asymptotically locally hyperbolic manifolds in dimensions $4\le n \le 7$. The result is established by first proving deformation-of-mass-aspect theorems in dimensions $n\ge 4$. Our positivity…
We obtain an integral inequality for asymptotically linear harmonic functions on asymptotically flat 3-manifolds with noncompact boundary, which implies positivity of a convex combination of ADM masses of two conformally related metrics…
Any compact manifold with positive scalar curvature has an associated asymptotically flat metric constructed using the Green's function of the conformal Laplacian, and the mass of this metric is an important geometric invariant. An explicit…
We prove positive mass theorems for asymptotically hyperbolic and asymptotically locally hyperbolic Riemannian manifolds with black-hole-type boundaries.
In this paper, we investigate the geometry of asymptotically flat manifolds with controlled holonomy. We show that any end of such manifold admits a torus fibration over an ALE end. In addition, we prove a Hitchin-Thorpe inequality for…
We deal with suitable nonlinear versions of Jauregui's isocapacitary mass in 3-manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature and compact outermost minimal boundary. These masses, which depend on a parameter $1<p\leq 2$, interpolate between…
In this paper we prove a rigidity result for the equality case of the Penrose inequality on $3$-dimensional asymptotically flat manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature and corners. Our result also has deep connections with the equality…
