We establish an inequality relating the surface gravity and topology of a horizon in a $3$-dimensional asymptotically locally hyperbolic static space with the geometry at infinity. Equality is achieved only by the Kottler black holes, and…

Penrose's idea of asymptotic flatness provides a framework for understanding the asymptotic structure of gravitational fields of isolated systems at null infinity. However, the studies of the asymptotic behaviour of fields near spatial…

In this paper, we show that for a sequence of orientable complete uniformly asymptotically flat $3$-manifolds $(M_i , g_i)$ with nonnegative scalar curvature and ADM mass $m(g_i)$ tending to zero, by subtracting some open subsets $Z_i$,…

We prove the global asymptotic stability of the Minkowski space for the massless Einstein-Vlasov system in wave coordinates. In contrast with previous work on the subject, no compact support assumptions on the initial data of the Vlasov…
