چکیده
We extend our previous definition of quasi-local mass to 2-spheres whose Gauss curvature is negative and prove its positivity.

Mass and 3-metrics of Non-negative Scalar Curvature
Physicists believe, with some justification, that there should be a correspondence between familiar properties of Newtonian gravity and properties of solutions of the Einstein equations. The Positive Mass Theorem (PMT), first proved over twenty years ago [45, 53], is a remarkable testament to this faith. However, fundamental mathematical questions concerning mass in general relativity remain, a...
متن کاملThe Static Extension Problem in General Relativity
We prove the existence of asymptotically flat solutions to the static vacuum Einstein equations on M = R \B with prescribed metric γ and mean curvature H on ∂M ≃ S, provided H > 0 and H has no critical points where the Gauss curvature Kγ ≤ 0. This gives a partial resolution of a conjecture of Bartnik on such static vacuum extensions. The existence and uniqueness of such extensions is closely re...
متن کاملOn the Connectedness of the Space of Initial Data for the Einstein Equations
Is the space of initial data for the Einstein vacuum equations connected? As a partial answer to this question, we prove the following result: Let M be the space of asymptotically flat metrics of non-negative scalar curvature on R3 which admit a global foliation outside a point by 2-spheres of positive mean and Gauss curvatures. Then M is connected.

We study static black hole solutions in Einstein and Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet gravity with the topology of the product of two spheres,Sn × Sn, in higher dimensions. There is an unusual new feature of the Gauss–Bonnet black hole: the avoidance of a non-central naked singularity prescribes a mass range for the black hole in terms of > 0. For an Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet black hole a limited window of ne...
متن کاملInstability results for an elliptic equation on compact Riemannian manifolds with non-negative Ricci curvature
We prove nonexistence of nonconstant local minimizers for a class of functionals, which typically appears in the scalar two-phase field model, over a smoothN−dimensional Riemannian manifold without boundary with non-negative Ricci curvature. Conversely for a class of surfaces possessing a simple closed geodesic along which the Gauss curvature is negative we prove existence of nonconstant local ...
