Many classical objects of study related to the geometry/topology of smooth Gaussian fields (e.g., the volume, surface area or Euler characteristic of excursion sets) have a `locality' property which is crucial to their analysis. More…

Although there is no known meaningful notion of the energy density of the gravitational field in general relativity, a few notions of quasi-local energy of gravity associated to extended but finite domains have been proposed. In this paper,…

Given a sphere with Bartnik data close to that of a round sphere in Euclidean 3-space, we compute its Bartnik-Bray outer mass to first order in the data's deviation from the standard sphere. The Hawking mass gives a well-known lower bound,…

The Brown-York quasi-local energy of a rotating black hole described by the Kerr metric and enclosed by a fixed-radius surface is calculated by direct computation. No special assumptions on the angular momentum or the radial coordinate in…

This paper is concerned with weighted energy estimates for solutions to wave equation $\partial_t^2u-\Delta u + a(x)\partial_tu=0$ with space-dependent damping term $a(x)=|x|^{-\alpha}$ $(\alpha\in [0,1))$ in an exterior domain $\Omega$…

The non-equilibrium densities of nonlocal mass-energy are self-governed by kinetic stresses toward quasi-equilibrium sub-configurations. System energy integral of continuous matter-extension coordinates its adaptive densities on each…

A definition of quasi-local energy in a gravitational field based upon its embedding into flat space is discussed. The outcome is not satisfactory from many points of view.

The M$\o$ller tetrad gravitational energy-momentum expression was recently evaluated for a small vacuum region using orthonormal frames adapted to Riemann normal coordinates. However the result was not proportional to the Bel-Robinson…

We construct a quasi-local formalism for conserved charges in a theory of gravity in the presence of matter fields which may have slow falloff behaviors at the asymptotic infinity. This construction depends only on equations of motion and…

We analyse the definition of quasi-local energy in GR based on a Hamiltonian analysis of the Einstein-Hilbert action initiated by Brown-York. The role of the constraint equations, in particular the Hamiltonian constraint on the timelike…

The Riemannian Penrose inequality is a remarkable geometric inequality between the ADM mass of an asymptotically flat manifold with non-negative scalar curvature and the area of its outermost minimal surface. A version of the Riemannian…

We present a new vector field approach to almost-sharp decay for the wave equation on spherically symmetric, stationary and asymptotically flat spacetimes. Specifically, we derive a new hierarchy of higher-order weighted energy estimates by…

We derive an expression for effective gravitational mass for any closed spacelike 2-surface. This effective gravitational energy is defined directly through the geometrical quantity of the freely falling 2-surface and thus is well adapted…

In any static spacetime the quasi-local Tolman mass contained within a volume can be reduced to a Gauss-like surface integral involving the flux of a suitably defined generalized surface gravity. By introducing some basic thermodynamics and…

We prove a rigidity theorem that shows that, under many circumstances, quasi-isometric embeddings of equal rank, higher rank symmetric spaces are close to isometric embeddings. We also produce some surprising examples of quasi-isometric…

We develop a framework for understanding the existence of asymptotically flat solutions to the static vacuum Einstein equations with prescribed boundary data consisting of the induced metric and mean curvature on a 2-sphere. A partial…

Hawking's quasi-local energy definition quantifies the energy enclosed by a spacelike 2-sphere in terms of the amount of lightbending on the sphere caused by the energy distribution inside the sphere. This paper establishes for the first…

For describing the non-negative gravitational energy-momentum in terms of a pure Bel-Robinson `momentum' in a quasi-local small sphere limit, the Bel-Robinson tensor $B$ is desirable. However, we found this Bel-Robinson `momentum' can be…

In this work we study the quasilocal energy as in [11] for a constant radius surface in Kerr spacetime in Boyer-Lindquist coordinates. We show that under suitable conditions for isometric embedding, for a stationary observer the quasilocal…

This paper investigates the relationship between the quasilocal energy of Brown and York and certain spinorial expressions for gravitational energy constructed from the Witten-Nester integral. A key feature of the Brown-York method for…
