We re-derive, compactly, a TMG decoupling theorem: source-free TMG separates into its Einstein and Cotton sectors for spaces with a hypersurface-orthogonal Killing vector, here concretely for circular symmetry. We can then generalize it to…
We provide a harmonic level set proof of the positive mass theorem for asymptotically flat $3$-manifolds with a non-compact boundary first established by Almaraz-Barbosa-de Lima.
It is shown that the mass of an asymptotically flat manifold with a noncompact boundary can be computed in terms of limiting surface integrals involving the Einstein tensor of the interior metric and the Newton tensor attached to the second…
The Positive Binding Conjecture is a proposed formulation of the Weak Gravity Conjecture appropriate to Anti de-Sitter (AdS) space. It proposes that in a consistent gravitational theory, with a $U(1)$ gauge symmetry, there must exist a…
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…
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…
Avoiding the problem of the existence of asymptotically constant spinors satysfying certain differential equations on a non-compact hypersrface we presented the proof of positivity of the ADM and Bondi energy in Einstein-Maxwell…
Using minimal hypersurfaces, we obtain topological obstructions to admitting complete metrics with positive scalar curvature on a given class of non-compact n-manifolds with n less than 8. We show that the Liouville theorem for a locally…
I describe the construction of a large class of asymptotically flat initial data with non-vanishing mass and angular momentum for which the metric and the extrinsic curvature have asymptotic expansions at space-like infinity in terms of…
With the aid of a simple family of examples, we show that the quasi-local mass defined by Kijowski and Liu and Yau, and shown by Liu and Yau to be positive, may be strictly positive for space-like, topologically spherical 2-surfaces in flat…
In 1981, Schoen-Yau and Witten showed that in General Relativity both the total energy $E$ and the total mass $m$ of an initial data set modeling an isolated gravitational system are non-negative. Moreover, if $E=0$, the initial data set…
We show that there exists a positive arithmetical formula $\psi(x,R)$, where $x \in \omega$, $R \subseteq \omega$, with no hyperarithmetical fixed point. This answers a question of Gerhard J\"{a}ger. As corollaries we obtain results on the…
We prove that complete submanifolds, on which the Omori-Yau weak maximum principle for the Hessian holds, with low codimension and bounded by cylinders of small radius must have points rich in large positive extrinsic curvature. The lower…
Positivity bounds are bounds on the Wilson coefficients of an effective field theory. They hold, if the ultraviolet completion satisfies unitarity, microcausality, locality and Lorentz symmetry; accordingly their violation signals a…
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…
We provide new exact solutions to the Einstein-Maxwell system of equations which are physically reasonable. The spacetime is static and spherically symmetric with a charged matter distribution. We utilise an equation of state which is…
We establish a Positive Mass Theorem for initial data sets of the Einstein equations having generalized trapped surface boundary. In particular we answer a question posed by R. Wald concerning the existence of generalized apparent horizons…
We prove an integral inequality and two stability results for the ADM mass on AE K\"ahler manifolds of all complex dimensions. The inequality bounds the ADM mass from below by an integral of the scalar curvature and the Hessian of certain…
Within the general class of Asymptotically Anti-de Sitter spacetimes that are asymptotic to the A-de-S Schwarzschild metric, we give a simple positive mass theorem based on arguments from causal structure. A general result for all…
In the first part of this article we revisit the theory of weighted spinors on conformal manifolds. In the second part we introduce the notions of asymptotically flat Weyl structures and of associated mass, and we prove a conformal version…
