We study connections among the ADM mass, positive harmonic functions tending to zero at infinity, and the capacity of the boundary of asymptotically flat $3$-manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature. First we give new formulae that…

We prove a positive mass theorem for some noncompact spin manifolds that are asymptotic to products of hyperbolic space with a compact manifold. As conclusion we show the Yamabe inequality for some noncompact manifolds which are important…

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 Conjecture states that any complete asymptotically flat manifold of nonnnegative scalar curvature has nonnegative mass. Moreover, the equality case of the Positive Mass Conjecture states that in the above situation, if the…

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…

We derive an explicit formula for the ADM mass of asymptotically locally Euclidean (ALE) almost K\"ahler manifolds. The formula expresses the mass in terms of the total Hermitian scalar curvature and topological data associated with the…

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…

Away from the central axis, we prove the stability of the Positive Mass Theorem in the $W^{1,p}$ sense for asymptotically flat axisymmetric manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature satisfying some additional technical assumptions. We…

We prove that a class of asymptotically nonnegatively curved manifolds (in the sense of Abresch) satisfying some uniform Euclidean type volume growth conditions contains only finitely many homeomorphism types.

We study the mass of asymptotically flat $3$-manifolds with boundary using the method of Bray-Kazaras-Khuri-Stern. More precisely, we derive a mass formula on the union of an asymptotically flat manifold and fill-ins of its boundary, and…

We prove a Riemannian positive mass theorem for manifolds with a single asymptotically flat end, but otherwise arbitrary other ends, which can be incomplete and contain negative scalar curvature. The incompleteness and negativity is…

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 consider an asymptotically flat Riemannian spin manifold of positive scalar curvature. An inequality is derived which bounds the Riemann tensor in terms of the total mass and quantifies in which sense curvature must become small when the…
