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…
In this paper, we explore positivity bounds for the effective field theory~(EFT) of a single weakly coupled massive vector field. The presence of both mass and spin makes the crossing properties of the amplitudes vastly complicated -- we…
We study spherically symmetric black hole solutions in a four-parameter Einstein-Cartan-type class of theories, called "torsion bigravity". These theories offer a geometric framework (with a metric and an independent torsionfull connection)…
We study the linearised stability of the nakedly singular negative mass Schwarzschild solution against gravitational perturbations. There is a one parameter family of possible boundary conditions at the singularity. We give a precise…
We define a partition of the space of projectively flat metrics in three classes according to the sign of the Chern scalar curvature; we prove that the class of negative projectively flat metrics is empty, and that the class of positive…
Let $X$ be a smooth threefold over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic. We prove that an arbitrary flop of $X$ is smooth. To this end, we study Gorenstein curves of genus one and two-dimensional elliptic singularities…
We show that if an asymptotically flat manifold with horizon boundary admits a global static potential, then the static potential must be zero on the boundary. We also show that if an asymptotically flat manifold with horizon boundary…
The motion of spinning massless particles in gravitationally curved backgrounds is revisited by considering new types of constraints. Those constraints guarantee zero mass ($P_\mu P^\mu=0$) and they allow for the possibility of trajectories…
We define spacetimes that are asymptotically flat, except for a deficit solid angle $\alpha$, and present a definition of their ``ADM'' mass, which is finite for this class of spacetimes, and, in particular, coincides with the value of the…
In this paper, the existence and uniqueness of foliations by constant mean curvature spheres on asymptotically flat manifolds of nonzero ADM mass in all dimensions were established. (A similar result in the case of positive mass was…
The Positive Mass Theorem states that a complete asymptotically flat manifold of nonnegative scalar curvature has nonnegative mass. The Riemannian Penrose inequality provides a sharp lower bound for the mass when black holes are present.…
In this note we study constant mean curvature surfaces in asymptotically flat 3-manifolds. We prove that, in an asymptotically flat 3-manifold with positive mass, stable spheres of given constant mean curvature outside a fixed compact…
In this paper, we give both positive and negative answers to Gromov's compactness question regarding positive scalar curvature metrics on noncompact manifolds. First we construct examples that give a negative answer to Gromov's compactness…
It is proved that any static system that is spacetime-geodesically complete at infinity, and whose spacelike-topology outside a compact set is that of R^3 minus a ball, is asymptotically flat. The matter is assumed compactly supported and…
Let $(M, g)$ be a complete Riemannian $3$-manifold that is asymptotic to Schwarzschild with positive mass and whose scalar curvature vanishes. We \textsl{unconditionally} characterize the large, embedded stable constant mean curvature…
We consider the question whether a static potential on an asymptotically flat 3-manifold can have nonempty zero set which extends to the infinity. We prove that this does not occur if the metric is asymptotically Schwarzschild with nonzero…
We prove a new positive mass theorem for three-dimensional manifolds which are asymptotically hyperboloidal of order greater than $1$. The mass quantity under consideration is the volume-renormalized mass recently introduced in a paper by…
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…

We presented the proof of the positive mass theorem for black holes in Einstein-Maxwell axion-dilaton gravity being the low-energy limit of the heterotic string theory. We show that the total mass of a spacetime containing a black hole is…
