We affirm the rigidity conjecture of the spacetime positive mass theorem in dimensions less than eight. Namely, if an asymptotically flat initial data set satisfies the dominant energy condition and has $E=|P|$, then $E=|P|=0$, where $(E,…

We prove the spacetime positive mass theorem in dimensions less than eight. This theorem states that for any asymptotically flat initial data set satisfying the dominant energy condition, the ADM energy-momentum vector $(E,P)$ of the…

The rigidity of the spacetime positive mass theorem states that an initial data set $(M,g,k)$ satisfying the dominant energy condition with vanishing mass can be isometrically embedded into Minkowski space. This has been established by…

We show a spacetime positive mass theorem for asymptotically flat initial data sets with a noncompact boundary. We develop a mass type invariant and a boundary dominant energy condition. Our proof is based on spinors.

We observe that an analogue of the Positive Mass Theorem in the time-symmetric case for three-space-time-dimensional general relativity follows trivially from the Gauss-Bonnet theorem. In this case we also have that the spatial slice is…

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 provide a new proof of the equality case of the spacetime positive mass theorem, which states that if a complete asymptotically flat initial data set $(M, g, k)$ satisfying the dominant energy condition has null ADM energy-momentum (that…

Using the recent work of Brendle--Wang on the Riemannian positive mass theorem, we prove the spacetime positive mass theorem for asymptotically flat and asymptotically hyperboloidal initial data sets in arbitrary dimensions.

We derive the Space-Time Positive Mass theorem in arbitrary dimensions, without topological constraints. The main new tools are skin structures and surgeries on minimal and marginally outer trapped hypersurfaces.

In this short note we explain how one can use established results to prove various versions of the positive mass theorem for initial data sets with boundary, in dimensions less than 8.

A positive mass theorem for General Relativity Theory is proved. The proof is 4-dimensional in nature, and relies completely on arguments pertaining to causal structure, the basic idea being that positive energy-density focuses null…

In this paper we consider the positive mass theorem for general initial data sets satisfying the dominant energy condition which are singular across a piecewise smooth surface. We find jump conditions on the metric and second fundamental…

The rigidity statement of the positive mass theorem asserts that an asymptotically flat initial data set for the Einstein equations with zero ADM mass, and satisfying the dominant energy condition, must arise from an embedding into…

We prove that the positive mass theorem applies to Lipschitz metrics as long as the singular set is low-dimensional, with no other conditions on the singular set. More precisely, let $g$ be an asymptotically flat Lipschitz metric on a…

Since the early days of the theory of electromagnetism and of gravity the idea of space, then space-time, as a sort of physical continuum hovered the scientific community. Actually general relativity shows the strong similarity that exists…

We describe how the spacetime positive energy theorem in dimension $n \geq 4$ follows from our recent work on the Riemannian version of the positive mass theorem. Our proof builds on the fundamental work of Schoen and Yau and the remarkable…

Within the general class of Asymptotically Anti-de Sitter spacetimes that are asymptotic to the A-de-S Schwarzschild metric, we give a simple positive mass theorem based on arguments from causal structure. A general result for all…

There exists in General Relativity an unambiguous notion of Mass associated to asymptotically flat spacetimes known as the ADM mass. The standard expression for the same is a surface integral over spatial infinity of a linear combination of…

In this short paper, we review recent progress on the positive mass theorem for spacelike hypersurfaces which approach to null infinity in asymptotically flat spacetimes. We use it to prove, if the functions $c(u, \theta, \psi)$, $d(u,…

We extend the Jang equation proof of the positive energy theorem due to R. Schoen and S.-T. Yau from dimension $n=3$ to dimensions $3 \leq n <8$. This requires us to address several technical difficulties that are not present when $n=3$.…
