The correct characterization of the concept of mass point in general relativity is a straightforward consequence of the original form of solution given by Schwarzschild to the problem of the Einstein field of a material point.
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.
In this paper, the existence and uniqueness of foliations by constant mean curvature spheres on asymptotically flat manifolds of nonzero ADM mass in all dimensions were established. (A similar result in the case of positive mass was…
We will extend partially our previous results about the limit of the Brown-York mass of a family of convex revolution surfaces in the Schwarzschild manifold such that these surfaces may have unbounded ratios of their radii.
We consider the problem of existence of constrained minimizers for the focusing mass-subcritical Half-Wave equation with a defocusing mass-subcritical perturbation. We show the existence of a critical mass such that minimizers do exist for…
We compute locations of sonic points and standing shock waves in a thin, axisymmetric, adiabatic flow around a Schwarzschild black hole. We use completely analytical method to achieve our goal. Our results are compared with those obtained…
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…
We discuss the problem of defining the center of mass in general relativity and the so-called spin supplementary condition. The different spin conditions in the literature, their physical significance, and the momentum-velocity relation for…
We extend Witten's spinor proof of the positive mass theorem to large classes of complete asymptotically flat non-spin manifolds, including all manifolds of dimension less than or equal to 11 and all manifolds of dimension less than 26…
Away from the central axis, we prove the stability of the Positive Mass Theorem in the $W^{1,p}$ sense for asymptotically flat axisymmetric manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature satisfying some additional technical assumptions. We…
In this note we prove two existence theorems for the Einstein constraint equations on asymptotically Euclidean manifolds. The first is for arbitrary mean curvature functions with restrictions on the size of the transverse-traceless data and…
We first demonstrate that the area preserving mean curvature flow of hypersurfaces in space forms exists for all time and converges exponentially fast to a round sphere if the integral of the traceless second fundamental form is…
We provide a class of orbits in the curved N-body problem for which no point that could play the role of the centre of mass is fixed or moves uniformly along a geodesic. This proves that the equations of motion lack centre-of-mass and…
We show that asymptotically Schwarzschildean 3-manifolds cannot contain minimal surfaces obtained by perturbative deformations of a Euclidean catenoid, no matter how small the ADM mass of the ambient space and how large the neck of the…
Given a sequence of asymptotically flat 3-manifolds of nonnegative scalar curvature with outermost minimal boundary, converging in the pointed $C^0$ Cheeger--Gromov sense to an asymptotically flat limit space, we show that the total mass of…
A good candidate to the role of passive gravitational mass of a Schwarzschild's incompressible sphere is represented by the substantielle Masse of the sphere, which is larger than the active gravitational mass. Presumably this inequality…
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…
We give some lower estimates of the ADM mass of an asymptotically flat (AF) Riemannian manifold without assuming that the scalar curvature of the manifold is nonnegative. Some sufficient conditions for an AF manifold to have nonnegative ADM…
By assuming a certain localized energy estimate, we prove the existence portion of the Strauss conjecture on asymptotically flat manifolds, possibly exterior to a compact domain, when the spatial dimension is 3 or 4. In particular, this…
We prove existence and uniqueness of foliations by stable spheres with constant mean curvature for 3-manifolds which are asymptotic to Anti-de Sitter-Schwarzschild metrics with positive mass. These metrics arise naturally as spacelike…
