We show that if an asymptotically flat manifold with horizon boundary admits a global static potential, then the static potential must be zero on the boundary. We also show that if an asymptotically flat manifold with horizon boundary…

The inscribed radius of a compact manifold with boundary is bounded above if its Ricci curvature and mean curvature are bounded from below. The rigidity result implies that the upper bound can be achieved only in space form. In this paper,…

Following Gromov, a Riemannian manifold is called area-extremal if any modification that increases scalar curvature must decrease the area of some tangent 2-plane. We prove that large classes of compact 4-manifolds, with or without…
