Using spinors, we show a dihedral type rigidity for polyhedral initial data sets. This rigidity connects spacetime positive mass theorem, dihedral rigidity and capillary marginally trapped surfaces. Our method is to extend the rigidity…

In this note we prove a theorem on non-vacuum initial data for general relativity. The result presents a ``rigidity phenomenon'' for the extrinsic curvature, caused by the non-positive scalar curvature. More precisely, we state that in the…

In principle, global properties of solution of Einstein equations need to be addressed using the conformal Einstein equations, because this conformal compactification allows a clean definition of the `infinities' (spacelike, timelike and…

We introduce a natural definition of $L^p$-convergence of maps, $p \ge 1$, in the case where the domain is a convergent sequence of measured metric space with respect to the measured Gromov-Hausdorff topology and the target is a…

We consider vacuum metrics admitting conformal compactification which is smooth up to the scri $\mathscr{I^+}$. We write metric in the Bondi-Sachs form and expand it into power series in the inverse affine distance $1/r$. Like in the case…

For complete affine manifolds we introduce a definition of compactification based on the projective differential geometry (i.e.\ geodesic path data) of the given connection. The definition of projective compactness involves a real parameter…

In this paper, we introduce a new family of mass-type invariants for time-symmetric initial data in space-times satisfying the Dominant Energy Condition. For positive cosmological constant, these invariants, unlike the total Hawking mass,…

We study Cauchy initial data for asymptotically flat, stationary vacuum space-times near space-like infinity. The fall-off behavior of the intrinsic metric and the extrinsic curvature is characterized. We prove that they have an analytic…

Static spherically-symmetric matter distributions whose energy-momentum tensor is characterized by a non-negative trace are studied analytically within the framework of general relativity. We prove that such field configurations are…

In this paper, we prove several rigidity results for compact initial data sets, in both the boundary and no boundary cases. In particular, under natural energy, boundary, and topological conditions, we obtain a global version of the main…

Cauchy initial value problem on a hyperboloid is proved to define a Hamiltonian system, provided the radiation data at null infinity are also taken into account, as a part of Cauchy data. The "Trautman-Bondi mass", supplemented by the…

We introduce the concept of improvability of the dominant energy scalar, and we derive strong consequences of non-improvability. In particular, we prove that a non-improvable initial data set without local symmetries must sit inside a null…

In this work we examine the internal structure of compact stars within an extended gravitational framework described by the function $f(\mathcal{R},\mathcal{G},\mathcal{T})$. Throughout this work, the quantity $\mathcal{R}$ refers to the…

We present the argument that the past limit of the Trautman-Bondi mass is the ADM mass under weak hypotheses on the decay of the metric towards spatial infinity, without any smallness conditions on the initial data, assuming well defined…

On any closed Riemannian manifold of dimension greater than $7$, we construct examples of background physical coefficients for which the Einstein-Lichnerowicz equation possesses a non-compact set of positive solutions. This yields in…

Magnitude is a numerical invariant of finite metric spaces, recently introduced by T. Leinster, which is analogous in precise senses to the cardinality of finite sets or the Euler characteristic of topological spaces. It has been extended…

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 generalize the spacetime positive mass theorem to include multiple time dimensions. In particular, we show that the mass remains nonnegative in the sense that the energy $E$ is bounded from below by the trace norm of the linear momenta…
