Density and positive mass theorems for initial data sets with boundary

Differential Geometry 2022-11-14 v2 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

We prove a harmonic asymptotics density theorem for asymptotically flat initial data sets with compact boundary that satisfy the dominant energy condition. We use this to settle the spacetime positive mass theorem, with rigidity, for initial data sets with apparent horizon boundary in dimensions less than 88 without a spin assumption.
