Penrose's quasi-local mass construction is carried through for two-surfaces at infinity in asymptotically anti-de Sitter space-times. A modification of the Witten argument is given to prove a positivity property of the resulting conserved…

The 1965 Penrose singularity theorem demonstrates the utterly inevitable and unavoidable formation of spacetime singularities under physically reasonable assumptions, and it remains one of the main results in our understanding of black…

In axially symmetric spacetimes the Penrose inequality can be strengthened to include angular momentum. We prove a version of this inequality for minimal surfaces, more precisely, a lower bound for the ADM mass in terms of the area of a…

The purpose of this letter is to point out an argument which may ultimately lead to a rigorous proof of the Penrose inequality in the general case. The argument is a variation of Geroch's original proposal for a proof of the positive energy…

In these notes we summarise some recent developments on the existence and uniqueness theory for Vlasov-type equations, both on the torus and on the whole space.

We discuss recent progress many problems in random matrix theory of a combinatorial nature, including several breakthroughs that solve long standing famous conjectures.

We extend the validity of the Penrose singularity theorem to spacetime metrics of regularity $C^{1,1}$. The proof is based on regularisation techniques, combined with recent results in low regularity causality theory.

In this paper, we show how to reduce the Penrose conjecture to the known Riemannian Penrose inequality case whenever certain geometrically motivated systems of equations can be solved. Whether or not these special systems of equations have…

Penrose's crucial contributions to General Relativity, symbolized by his 1965 singularity theorem, received (half of) the 2020 Nobel prize in Physics. A renewed interest in the ideas and implications behind that theorem, its later…

Our current picture of black hole gravitational collapse relies on two assumptions: i) the resulting singularity is hidden behind an event horizon -- weak cosmic censorship conjecture -- and ii) spacetime eventually settles down to a…

In this short paper, Penrose's famous singularity theorem is applied to the Kerr space-time. In the case of the maximally extended space-time, the assumptions of Penrose's singularity theorem are not satisfied as the space-time is not…

We establish the spacetime Penrose inequality in spherical symmetry in spacetime dimensions $n+1\geq3$ with charge and cosmological constant from the initial data perspective. We also show that this result extends to the Gauss-Bonnet theory…

The Penrose inequality estimates the lower bound of the mass of a black hole in terms of the area of its horizon. This bound is relatively loose for extremal or near extremal black holes. We propose a new Penrose-like inequality for static…

In this paper, we give a survey of the recent develpoments of the DDVV conjecture.

We summarize theoretical and experimental work on tests of CPT and local Lorentz symmetry in gravity. Recent developments include extending the effective field theory framework into the nonlinear regime of gravity.

We propose a geometric inequality for two-dimensional spacelike surfaces in the Schwarzschild spacetime. This inequality implies the Penrose inequality for collapsing dust shells in general relativity, as proposed by Penrose and Gibbons. We…

In this survey, we give a short overview of the recent progress on the multidimensional L2 conjecture. It can also serve as an introduction to the subject.

We discuss various recent advances on weak forms of the Twin Prime Conjecture.

We present a version of relative locality based on the geometry of twistor space. This can also be thought of as a new kind of deformation of twistor theory based on the construction of a bundle of twistor spaces over momentum space.…

We use Penrose limits to approximate quasinormal modes with large real frequencies. The Penrose limit associates a plane wave to a region of spacetime near a null geodesic. This plane wave can be argued to geometrically realize the…
