A generalized set of asymptotic conditions for higher spin gravity without cosmological constant in three spacetime dimensions is constructed. They include the most general temporal components of the gauge fields that manifestly preserve…
We give a definition of mass for conformally compactifiable initial data sets. The asymptotic conditions are compatible with existence of gravitational radiation, and the compactifications are allowed to be polyhomogeneous. We show that the…
We extend the vanishing theorem for the Seiberg-Witten invariants of a manifold with positive scalar curvature to the case when the curvature is allowed to be negative on a set of small volume. (The precise curvature bounds are described in…
We study the initial value problem of the Einstein-Dirac system, and show the stability of the Minkowski solution in the massless case with the use of generalized wave coordinates. This requires the understanding of the Dirac equation in…
Asymptotically flat spacetimes have been studied in five separate regions: future/past timelike infinity $i^\pm$, future/past null infinity $\mathcal{I}^\pm$, and spatial infinity $i^0$. We formulate assumptions and definitions such that…
For an asymptotically flat initial-data set in general relativity, the total mass-momentum may be interpreted as a Hermitian quadratic form on the complex, two-dimensional vector space of ``asymptotic spinors''. We obtain a generalization…
In the first part of this paper, we prove the extensibility of an arbitrary boundary metric to a positive scalar curvature (PSC) metric inside for a compact manifold with boundary, which completely solves an open problem due to Gromov (see…
We prove a positive mass theorem for continuous Riemannian metrics in the Sobolev space $W^{2, n/2}_{\mathrm{loc}}(M)$. We argue that this is the largest class of metrics with scalar curvature a positive a.c. measure for which the positive…
We propose a set of consistent boundary conditions containing the spacelike warped black holes solutions of Topologically Massive Gravity. We prove that the corresponding asymptotic charges whose algebra consists in a Virasoro algebra and a…
Existence of a protected surface state described by a massless Dirac equation is a defining property of the topological insulator. Though this statement can be explicitly verified on an idealized flat surface, it remains to be addressed to…
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…
We derive a formula for the index of a Dirac operator on a compact, even-dimensional incomplete edge space satisfying a "geometric Witt condition". We accomplish this by cutting off to a smooth manifold with boundary, applying the…
We derive expressions for the total Hamiltonian energy of gravitating systems in higher dimensional theories in terms of the Riemann tensor, allowing a cosmological constant $\Lambda \in \mathbb{R}$. Our analysis covers asymptotically…
We extend the validity of Dain's angular-momentum inequality to maximal, asymptotically flat, initial data sets on a simply connected manifold with several asymptotically flat ends which are invariant under a U(1) action and which admit a…
A central limit theorem is established for a sum of random variables belonging to a sequence of random fields. The fields are assumed to have zero mean conditional on the past history and to satisfy certain conditional $\alpha$-mixing…
We use chiral perturbation theory to investigate twisted and partially twisted boundary conditions which allow access to momenta other than integer multiples of 2pi/L on a lattice with spatial volume L^3. For K -> pi pi decays we show that…
In a recent paper [15], Hilbert space operators $T$ with the property that each sequence of the form $\{\|T^n h\|^2\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$ is conditionally positive definite in a semigroup sense were introduced. In the present paper, this line…
Stochastic conservation laws are often challenging when it comes to proving existence of non-negative solutions. In a recent work by J. Fischer and G. Gr\"un (2018, Existence of positive solutions to stochastic thin-film equations, SIAM J.…
We study Killing vector fields in asymptotically flat space-times. We prove the following result, implicitly assumed in the uniqueness theory of stationary black holes. If the conditions of the rigidity part of the positive energy theorem…
We present a variational formulation of Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory in flat spacetime, when the asymptotic value of the scalar field is not fixed. We obtain the boundary terms that make the variational principle well posed and then…
