Asymptotically flat static causal fermion systems are introduced. Their total mass is defined as a limit of surface layer integrals which compare the measures describing the asymptotically flat spacetime and a vacuum spacetime near spatial…
Using spinors, we show a dihedral type rigidity for polyhedral initial data sets. This rigidity connects spacetime positive mass theorem, dihedral rigidity and capillary marginally trapped surfaces. Our method is to extend the rigidity…
Using the recent work of Brendle--Wang on the Riemannian positive mass theorem, we prove the spacetime positive mass theorem for asymptotically flat and asymptotically hyperboloidal initial data sets in arbitrary dimensions.
We establish the charged Penrose inequality for time symmetric initial data sets having an outermost minimal surface boundary and finitely many asymptotically cylindrical ends, with an appropriate rigidity statement. This is accomplished by…
We give an alternate proof of one of the results given in [16] showing that initial data sets with boundary for the Einstein equations $(M, g, k)$ satisfying the dominant energy condition can be conformally deformed to the strict dominant…
We show that the borderline cases in the proof of the positive energy theorem for initial data sets, on spin manifolds, in dimensions $n\ge 3$, are only possible for initial data arising from embeddings in Minkowski space-time.
We study the quasi-local masses arising in general relativity using spinors and prove their positivity property. This leads to the question of a pure quasi-local proof of the positivity of the Wang-Yau \cite{yau} quasi-local mass. More…
Let $(M,g)$ be a compact conformally flat manifold of dimension $n\geq4$ with positive scalar curvature. According to a positive mass theorem by Schoen and Yau, the constant term in the development of the Green function of the conformal…
The aim of this work is to present an initial data version of Hawking's theorem on the topology of back hole spacetimes in the context of manifolds with boundary. More precisely, we generalize the results of G. J. Galloway and R. Schoen…
When working with asymptotically hyperbolic initial data sets for general relativity it is convenient to assume certain simplifying properties. We prove that the subset of initial data sets with such properties is dense in the set of…
For manifolds with a distinguished asymptotically flat end, we prove a density theorem which produces harmonic asymptotics on the distinguished end, while allowing for points of incompleteness (or negative scalar curvature) away from this…
We derive a positive mass theorem for asymptotically flat manifolds with boundary whose mean curvature satisfies a sharp estimate involving the conformal Green's function. The theorem also holds if the conformal Green's function is replaced…
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 upper bounds on angular momentum and centre of mass in terms of the Hamiltonian mass and cosmological constant for non-singular asymptotically anti-de Sitter initial data sets satisfying the dominant energy condition. We work in…
We study the stability of the Positive Mass Theorem using the Intrinsic Flat Distance. In particular we consider the class of complete asymptotically flat rotationally symmetric Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature and no…
We derive positivity bounds for scattering amplitudes of particles with arbitrary spin using unitarity, analyticity and crossing symmetry. The bounds imply the positivity of certain low-energy coefficients of the effective action that…
We extend the positive mass theorem proved previously by the author to the Lorentzian setting. This includes the original higher dimensional positive energy theorem whose spinor proof was given by Witten in dimension four and by Xiao Zhang…
In this note we prove a theorem on non-vacuum initial data for general relativity. The result presents a ``rigidity phenomenon'' for the extrinsic curvature, caused by the non-positive scalar curvature. More precisely, we state that in the…
As an interesting application of the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory and our work on the Gauss-Bonnet-Chern mass (Ge, Wang, Wu), we obtain a positive mass theorem for asymptotically flat graphs in $\R^{n+1}$ under a condition that $R+\alpha…
