In the asymptotically locally hyperbolic setting it is possible to have metrics with scalar curvature at least -6 and negative mass when the genus of the conformal boundary at infinity is positive. Using inverse mean curvature flow, we…

We define the "sum of squares of the wavelengths" of a Riemannian surface (M,g) to be the regularized trace of the inverse of the Laplacian. We normalize by scaling and adding a constant, to obtain a "mass", which is scale invariant and…

We extend Brill's positive mass theorem to a large class of asymptotically flat, maximal, $U(1)^2$-invariant initial data sets on simply connected four dimensional manifolds $\Sigma$. Moreover, we extend the local mass angular momenta…

We affirm the rigidity conjecture of the spacetime positive mass theorem in dimensions less than eight. Namely, if an asymptotically flat initial data set satisfies the dominant energy condition and has $E=|P|$, then $E=|P|=0$, where $(E,…

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…

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…

The Schwarzschild spacetime metric of negative mass is well-known to contain a naked singularity. In a spacelike slice, this singularity of the metric is characterized by the property that nearby surfaces have arbitrarily small area. We…
