We show the following two extensions of the standard positive mass theorem (one for either sign): Let (N,g) and (N,g') be asymptotically flat Riemannian 3-manifolds with compact interior and finite mass, such that g and g' are twice Hoelder…

In this note, we consider the positive mass theorem for Riemannian manifolds $(M^{n},g)$ asymptotic to $(\mathbb{R}^{k}\times X^{n-k}, g_{\mathbb{R}^{k}}+g_{X})$ for $k\geq 3$ by studying the corresponding compactification problem.

We show that a uniformly Euclidean metric with isolated singularity on $M^n = T^n \# M_0$, where $4\leq n\leq 7$ or $n\geq 4$, $M_0$ spin, and nonnegative scalar curvature on the smooth part is Ricci flat and extends smoothly over the…

Motivated by the work of Li and Mantoulidis, we study singular metrics which are uniformly Euclidean $(L^\infty)$ on a compact manifold $M^n$ ($n\ge 3$) with negative Yamabe invariant $\sigma(M)$. It is well-known that if $g$ is a smooth…
