An iterative construction of higher order Einstein tensors for a maximally Gauss-Bonnet extended gravitational Lagrangian was introduced in a previous paper. Here the formalism is extended to non-factorisable metrics in arbitrary ($d+1$)…

We show that the abelian topological mass mechanism in four dimensions, described by the Cremmer-Sherk action, can be obtained from dimensional reduction in five dimensions. Starting from a gauge invariant action in five dimensions, where…

We produce new examples of Riemannian manifolds with scalar curvature lower bounds and collapsing behavior along codimension 2 submanifolds. Applications of this construction are given, primarily on questions concerning the stability of…

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 prove that any smooth Riemannian manifold of non-negative scalar curvature and with a strictly mean convex and compact boundary component can be (C^2) extended beyond the component to have non-negative scalar curvature and to enjoy…

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…

We define an ADM-like mass, called p-mass, for an asymptotically flat pseudohermitian manifold. The p-mass for the blow-up of a compact pseudohermitian manifold (with no boundary) is identified with the first nontrivial coefficient in the…

We solve the Jang equation with respect to asymptotically hyperbolic "hyperboloidal" initial data in dimensions n = 4, 5, 6, 7. This gives a non-spinor proof of the positive mass theorem in the asymptotically hyperbolic setting in these…

This short review surveys mass for two-dimensional asymptotically locally hyperbolic initial data sets. I explain the difficulties in defining mass in spatial dimension two, which are resolved via minimisation using a positive energy…

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…
