We show that positivity of energy for stationary, or strongly uniformly Schwarzschildian, asymptotically flat, non-singular domains of outer communications can be proved using Galloway's null rigidity theorem.
We establish the positive energy theorem for weak asymptotically anti-de Sitter initial data sets with distributional curvature under the weak dominant energy condition.
We show that gravitational energy expression simplifies when a new set of coordinates that satisfies a certain asymptotic gauge condition is used. Compared to the ADM formula, positivity of the energy is more transparent in this new…
Using the positive energy theorem, we derive some constraints on static steller models in asymptotically flat spacetimes in a general setting without imposing spherical symmetry. We show that there exist no regular solutions under certain…
We extend the positive mass theorem proved previously by the author to the Lorentzian setting. This includes the original higher dimensional positive energy theorem whose spinor proof was given by Witten in dimension four and by Xiao Zhang…
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…
We show a spacetime positive mass theorem for asymptotically flat initial data sets with a noncompact boundary. We develop a mass type invariant and a boundary dominant energy condition. Our proof is based on spinors.
We prove two theorems which imply that any stationary nonlinear electromagnetic field obeying a dominant energy condition in a strictly stationary, everywhere regular, asymptotically flat spacetime must be either trivial or a stealth field.…
We describe a positive energy theorem for Einstein gravity coupled to scalar fields with first-derivative interactions, so-called P(X,phi) theories. We offer two independent derivations of this result. The first method introduces an…
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 that on a smooth bounded set, the positive least energy solution of the Lane-Emden equation with sublinear power is isolated. As a corollary, we obtain that the first $q-$eigenvalue of the Dirichlet-Laplacian is not an accumulation…
We present a streamlined, complete proof, valid in arbitrary space dimension $n$, and using only spinors on the oriented Riemannian space $(M^{n};g),$ of the positive energy theorem in General Relativity.
On a smooth asymptotically flat Riemannian manifold with non-compact boundary, we prove a positive mass theorem for metrics which are only continuous across a compact hypersurface. As an application, we obtain a positive mass theorem on…
We prove a splitting theorem for Lorentzian pre-length spaces with global non-positive timelike curvature. Additionally, we extend the first variation formula to spaces with any timelike curvature bound, either from above or below, and…
In this paper we prove a positive energy theorem related to fourth-order gravitational theories, which is a higher-order analogue of the classical ADM positive energy theorem of general relativity. We will also show that, in parallel to the…
The aim of this chapter is to present an introduction and also an overview of some of the most relevant results concerning positivity energy theorems in General Relativity. These theorems provide the answer to a long standing problem that…
We consider nonlinear elliptic problems involving a nonlocal operator: the square root of the Laplacian in a bounded domain with zero Dirichlet boundary conditions. For positive solutions to problems with power nonlinearities, we establish…
We consider the NLS with variable coefficients in dimension $n\ge3$ \begin{equation*} i \partial_t u - Lu +f(u)=0, \qquad Lv=\nabla^{b}\cdot(a(x)\nabla^{b}v)-c(x)v, \qquad \nabla^{b}=\nabla+ib(x), \end{equation*} on $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ or more…
The stability of physical systems depends on the existence of a state of least energy. In gravity, this is guaranteed by the positive energy theorem. For topological reasons this fails for nonsupersymmetric Kaluza-Klein compactifications,…
We present a method to compute high-order derivatives of the total energy which can be used in the framework of density functional theory. We provide a proof of the $2n+1$ theorem for a general class of energy functionals in which the…
