A generalized positive energy theorem for spaces with asymptotic SUSY compactification involving non-symmetric data is proved. This work is motivated by the work of Dai [D1][D2], Hertog-Horowitz-Maeda [HHM], and Zhang [Z].

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…

We formulate and prove the Lorentzian version of the positive mass theorems with arbitrary negative cosmological constant for asymptotically AdS spacetimes. This work is the continuation of the second author's recent work on the positive…

The positive energy theorem for weighted asymptotically flat spin manifolds was proved by Baldauf and Ozuch \cite{BO}, and for non-spin case by Chu and Zhu \cite{CZh}. In this paper, we generalize the positive energy theorem for…

We prove a positive mass theorem for spaces which asymptotically approach a flat Euclidean space times a Calabi-Yau manifold (or any special honolomy manifold except the quaternionic K\"ahler). This is motivated by the very recent work of…

We extend Witten's spinor proof of the positive mass theorem to large classes of complete asymptotically flat non-spin manifolds, including all manifolds of dimension less than or equal to 11 and all manifolds of dimension less than 26…

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 positive mass theorem in higher dimensions is proved using causality arguments inspired by those of Penrose, Sorkin and Woolgar in 3+1 dimensions.

We reconsider Schoen and Yau's proof of the positive mass theorem from the extra dimensional point of view, and we introduce a modified argument to prove the theorem in the Kaluza-Klein picture. We consider in this study an alternative…

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 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 $n=3$.…
