We study scalar curvature deformation for asymptotically locally hyperbolic (ALH) manifolds with nonempty compact boundary. We show that the scalar curvature map is locally surjective among either (1) the space of metrics that coincide…

We show an improvement of Bray sharp mass-capacity inequality and Bray-Miao sharp upper bound of the capacity of the boundary in terms of its area, for three-dimensional, complete, one-ended asymptotically flat manifolds with compact,…

It is shown that the mass of an asymptotically flat manifold with a noncompact boundary can be computed in terms of limiting surface integrals involving the Einstein tensor of the interior metric and the Newton tensor attached to the second…

We review notions of mass of asymptotically locally Anti-de Sitter three-dimensional spacetimes, and apply them to some known solutions. For two-dimensional general relativistic initial data sets the mass is not invariant under asymptotic…

We show that if an asymptotically flat manifold with horizon boundary admits a global static potential, then the static potential must be zero on the boundary. We also show that if an asymptotically flat manifold with horizon boundary…

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…

We describe explicitly the large volume isoperimetric regions of a natural class of asymptotically flat manifolds, in any dimension. These isoperimetric regions detect the mass and the center of mass of such manifolds when viewed as initial…

We derive a positive mass theorem for asymptotically flat manifolds with boundary whose mean curvature satisfies a sharp estimate involving the conformal Green's function. The theorem also holds if the conformal Green's function is replaced…

We prove an integral inequality and two stability results for the ADM mass on AE K\"ahler manifolds of all complex dimensions. The inequality bounds the ADM mass from below by an integral of the scalar curvature and the Hessian of certain…
