The Positive Mass Theorem implies that any smooth, complete, asymptotically flat 3-manifold with non-negative scalar curvature which has zero total mass is isometric to (R^3, delta_{ij}). In this paper, we quantify this statement using…

We review some recent results about the relations among isoperimetric sets, Penrose inequalities and related concepts in the analysis of $3$-manifolds of nonnegative scalar curvature. We also show that if the isoperimetric sets of big…

On a smooth asymptotically flat Riemannian manifold with non-compact boundary, we prove a positive mass theorem for metrics which are only continuous across a compact hypersurface. As an application, we obtain a positive mass theorem on…

We show that the positive mass theorem holds for continuous Riemannian metrics that lie in the Sobolev space $W^{2, n/2}_{loc}$ for manifolds of dimension less than or equal to $7$ or spin-manifolds of any dimension. More generally, we give…

Motivated by the recent progress on positive mass theorem for asymptotically flat manifolds with arbitrary ends and the Gromov's definition of scalar curvature lower bound for continuous metrics, we start a program on the positive mass…

The study of stable minimal surfaces in Riemannian $3$-manifolds $(M, g)$ with non-negative scalar curvature has a rich history. In this paper, we prove rigidity of such surfaces when $(M, g)$ is asymptotically flat and has horizon…

We propose a notion of scalar curvature lower bounds in a three-dimensional Riemannian manifold endowed with a $C^0$ metric based on the monotonicity of the Hawking mass along the inverse mean curvature flow. We present a stability theorem…

The positive mass theorem states that the total mass of a complete asymptotically flat manifold with non-negative scalar curvature is non-negative; moreover, the total mass equals zero if and only if the manifold is isometric to the…

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 deal with suitable nonlinear versions of Jauregui's isocapacitary mass in 3-manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature and compact outermost minimal boundary. These masses, which depend on a parameter $1<p\leq 2$, interpolate between…

We study the positive mass theorem for certain non-smooth metrics following P. Miao's work. Our approach is to smooth the metric using the Ricci flow. As well as improving some previous results on the behaviour of the ADM mass under the…
