In this paper we introduce a mass for asymptotically flat manifolds by using the Gauss-Bonnet curvature. We first prove that the mass is well-defined and is a geometric invariant, if the Gauss-Bonnet curvature is integrable and the decay…

We present several rigidity results for initial data sets motivated by the positive mass theorem. An important step in our proofs here is to establish conditions that ensure that a marginally outer trapped surface is "weakly outermost". A…

The positive energy theorems are a fundamental pillar in mathematical general relativity. Originally proved by Schoen-Yau and later Witten, these theorems were established for asymptotically flat manifolds where the metric tends to the…

We prove the positive mass theorem for manifolds with distributional curvature which have been studied in \cite{Lee2015} without spin condition. In our case, the manifold $M$ has asymptotically flat metric $g\in C^0\bigcap W^{1,p}_{-q}$,…
