We present a proof of the positivity of the Bondi energy in Einstein-Maxwell axion-dilaton gravity, being the low-energy limit of the heterotic string theory. We consider the spacelike hypersurface which asymptotically approaches a null…
Extending the work of Park and Strominger, we prove a positive energy theorem for the exactly solvable quantum-corrected 2D dilaton gravity theories. The positive energy functional we construct is shown to be unique (within a reasonably…
Following the Witten-Nester formalism, we present a useful prescription using Weyl spinors towards the positivity of mass. As a generalization of arXiv:1310.1663, we show that some "positivity conditions" must be imposed upon the gauge…
This paper addresses the question of whether Witten's proof of positive ADM energy for classical general relativity can be extended to give a proof of positive energy for a non-perturbative quantization of general relativity. To address…
For complete spin initial data sets with an asymptotically anti--de Sitter end, we introduce a charged energy--momentum defined as a linear functional arising from the Einstein--Maxwell constraints. Under a dominant energy condition adapted…
We establish a type of positive energy theorem for asymptotically anti-de Sitter Einstein-Maxwell initial data sets by using Witten's spinoral techniques.
We show that gravitational energy expression simplifies when a new set of coordinates that satisfies a certain asymptotic gauge condition is used. Compared to the ADM formula, positivity of the energy is more transparent in this new…
This work considers positive energy theorems in asymptotically, locally AdS spacetimes. Particular attention is given to spacetimes where conformal infinity has compact, Einstein cross-sections admitting Killing or parallel spinors; a…
We derive necessary conditions for the spinorial Witten-Nester energy to be well-defined for asymptotically locally AdS spacetimes. We find that the conformal boundary should admit a spinor satisfying certain differential conditions and in…
We present a streamlined, complete proof, valid in arbitrary space dimension $n$, and using only spinors on the oriented Riemannian space $(M^{n};g),$ of the positive energy theorem in General Relativity.
We examine a 1 parameter class of actions describing the gravitational interaction between a pair of scalar fields and Einsteinian gravitation. When the parameter is positive the theory corresponds to an axi-dilatonic sector of low energy…
We presented the proof of the positive mass theorem for black holes in Einstein-Maxwell axion-dilaton gravity being the low-energy limit of the heterotic string theory. We show that the total mass of a spacetime containing a black hole is…
The Einstein-Maxwell dilaton-axion (EMDA) gravity arises in the low energy effective action of the heterotic string theory and provides a simple framework to explore the signatures of the same. The dilaton and the axion fields inherited in…
We use a transformation due to Bekenstein to relate the ADM and Bondi masses of asymptotically-flat solutions of the Einstein equations with, respectively, scalar sources and conformal-scalar sources. Although the conformal-scalar…
The Einstein-Maxwell fields of rotating stationary sources are represented by the SU(2,1) spinor potential $\Psi_A$ satisfying \[ \nabla \cdot [\Theta ^{-1}(\Psi_A\nabla \Psi_B-\Psi_B\nabla \Psi_A)]=-2\Theta ^{-2}\vec{C}\cdot (\Psi_A\nabla…
An $N = 1$ supersymmetric version of two dimensional dilaton gravity coupled to matter is considered. It is shown that the linear dilaton vacuum spontaneously breaks half the supersymmetries, leaving broken a linear combination of left and…
In this paper we argue that classical, asymptotically AdS spacetimes that arise as states in consistent ultraviolet completions of Einstein gravity coupled to matter must satisfy an infinite family of positive energy conditions. To each…
Energy positivity is established for a class of solutions to Einstein-aether theory and the IR limit of Ho\v{r}ava gravity within a certain range of coupling parameters. The class consists of solutions where the aether 4-vector is…

We study electrically charged, dilaton black holes, which possess infinitesimal angular momentum in the presence of one or two Liouville type potentials. These solutions are neither asymptotically flat nor (anti)-de Sitter. Some properties…
