Let $\mathcal{E}$ be an asymptotically Euclidean end in an otherwise arbitrary complete and connected Riemannian spin manifold $(M,g)$. We show that if $\mathcal{E}$ has negative ADM-mass, then there exists a constant $R > 0$, depending…

We formulate and prove a positive mass theorem for n-dimensional spin manifolds whose metrics have only the Sobolev regularity $C^0 \cap W^{1,n}$. At this level of regularity, the curvature of the metric is defined in the distributional…

In this paper, we consider asymptotically flat Riemannnian manifolds $(M^n,g)$ with $C^0$ metric $g$ and $g$ is smooth away from a closed bounded subset $\Sigma$ and the scalar curvature $R_g\ge 0$ on $M\setminus \Sigma$. For given $n\le…

We define a generalized mass for asymptotically flat manifolds using some higher order symmetric function of the curvature tensor. This mass is non-negative when the manifold is locally conformally flat and the $\sigma_k$ curvature vanishes…
