We present several rigidity results for initial data sets motivated by the positive mass theorem. An important step in our proofs here is to establish conditions that ensure that a marginally outer trapped surface is "weakly outermost". A…

In this paper we argue that classical, asymptotically AdS spacetimes that arise as states in consistent ultraviolet completions of Einstein gravity coupled to matter must satisfy an infinite family of positive energy conditions. To each…

There has been a lot of interests in Positive Mass Theorems for singular metrics on smooth manifolds. We prove a positive mass theorem for asymptotically flat (AF) spin manifolds with isolated conical singularities or more generally horn…

We single out a notion of staticity which applies to any domain in hyperbolic space whose boundary is a non-compact totally umbilical hypersurface. For (time-symmetric) initial data sets modeled at infinity on any of these latter examples,…

We use planar coordinates as well as hyperbolic coordinates to separate the de Sitter spacetime into two parts. These two ways of cutting the de Sitter give rise to two different spatial infinities. For spacetimes which are asymptotic to…

We establish a weighted positive mass theorem which unifies and generalizes results of Baldauf--Ozuch and Chu--Zhu. Our result is in fact equivalent to the usual positive mass theorem, and can be regarded as a positive mass theorem for…

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…

Our work proves rigidity theorems for initial data sets associated with compact smooth spin manifolds with boundary and with compact convex polytopes, subject to the dominant energy condition. For manifolds with smooth boundary, this is…
