Abstract

We obtain higher dimensional analogues of the results of Mantoulidis and Schoen in [8]. More precisely, we show that (i) any metric gg with positive scalar curvature on the 33-sphere S3S^3 can be realized as the induced metric on the outermost apparent horizon of a 44-dimensional asymptotically flat manifold with non-negative scalar curvature, whose ADM mass can be arranged to be arbitrarily close to the optimal value specified by the Riemannian Penrose inequality; (ii) any metric gg with positive scalar curvature on the nn-sphere SnS^n, with n4 n \ge 4 , such that (Sn,g)(S^n, g) isometrically embeds into Rn+1\mathbb{R}^{n+1} as a star-shaped hypersurface, can be realized as the induced metric on the outermost apparent horizon of an (n+1)(n+1)-dimensional asymptotically flat manifold with non-negative scalar curvature, whose ADM mass can be made to be arbitrarily close to the optimal value.

Theorem 1.1 significantly strengthened, the assumption on positive Ricci curvature relaxed to positive scalar curvature
