In the context of the Bartnik mass, there are two fundamentally different notions of an extension of some compact Riemannian manifold $(\Omega,\gamma)$ with boundary. In one case, the extension is taken to be a manifold without boundary in…

In this paper we present a new approach to the study of asymptotically flat static metrics arising in general relativity. In the case where the static potential is bounded, we introduce new quantities which are proven to be monotone along…

We establish several results on gluing/embedding/extending geometric structures in vacuum spacetimes with a cosmological constant in any spacetime dimensions $d\ge 4$, with emphasis on characteristic data. A useful tool is provided by the…

We prove that smooth asymptotically flat solutions to the Einstein vacuum equations which are assumed to be periodic in time, are in fact stationary in a neighborhood of infinity. Our result applies under physically relevant regularity…

The Bartnik mass is a notion of quasi-local mass which is remarkably difficult to compute. Mantoulidis and Schoen [2016] developed a novel technique to construct asymptotically flat extensions of minimal Bartnik data in such a way that the…

The rigidity of the Positive Mass Theorem states that the only complete asymptotically flat manifold of nonnegative scalar curvature and zero mass is Euclidean space. We study the stability of this statement for spaces that can be realized…

A complete characterization is obtained of the asymptotic behavior of solutions of the static vacuum Einstein equations which have a (pseudo)-compact horizon or boundary and are complete away from the boundary. It is proved that the…

We establish the local well-posedness of the Bartnik static metric extension problem for arbitrary Bartnik data that perturb that of any sphere in a Schwarzschild $\{t=0\}$ slice. Our result in particular includes spheres with arbitrary…

We prove that given any smooth metric $\gamma$ and smooth positive function $H$ on $S^{2}$, there is a constant $\lambda > 0$, depending on $(\gamma, H)$, and an asymptotically flat solution $(M, g, u)$ of the static vacuum Einstein…

We prove that there are no restrictions on the spatial topology of asymptotically flat solutions of the vacuum Einstein equations in (n+1)-dimensions. We do this by gluing a solution of the vacuum constraint equations on an arbitrary…

In spaces of nonpositive curvature the existence of isometrically embedded flat (hyper)planes is often granted by apparently weaker conditions on large scales. We show that some such results remain valid for metric spaces with non-unique…

Static manifolds with boundary were recently introduced to mathematics. This kind of manifold appears naturally in the prescribed scalar curvature problem on manifolds with boundary when the mean curvature of the boundary is also…

V-static metrics generalise the notion of static metrics, and stem from the work of Miao and Tam [arXiv:0807.2693], and Corvino, Eichmair and Miao [arXiv:1211.6168] on critical points of the volume functional over the space of compact…
