Inequalities for the ADM-mass and capacity of asymptotically flat manifolds with minimal boundary

چکیده
We present some recent developments involving inequalities for the ADM-mass and capacity of asymptotically flat manifolds with boundary. New, more general proofs of classic Euclidean estimates are also included. The inequalities are rigid and valid in all dimensions, and constitute a step towards proving the Riemannian Penrose inequality in arbitrary dimensions.

Boundary value problems for Dirac–type equations, with applications
We prove regularity for a class of boundary value problems for first order elliptic systems, with boundary conditions determined by spectral decompositions, under coefficient differentiability conditions weaker than previously known. We establish Fredholm properties for Dirac-type equations with these boundary conditions. Our results include sharp solvability criteria, over both compact and non...
متن کاملVariational Effect of Boundary Mean Curvature on Adm Mass in General Relativity
We extend the idea and techniques in [14] to study variational effect of the boundary geometry on the ADM mass of an asymptotically flat manifold. We show that, for a Lipschitz asymptotically flat metric extension of a bounded Riemannian domain with quasi-convex boundary, if the boundary mean curvature of the extension is dominated by but not identically equal to the one determined by the given...
متن کاملA Volumetric Penrose Inequality for Conformally Flat Manifolds
We consider asymptotically flat Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature that are conformal to Rn \ Ω, n ≥ 3, and so that their boundary is a minimal hypersurface. (Here, Ω ⊂ Rn is open bounded with smooth mean-convex boundary.) We prove that the ADM mass of any such manifold is bounded below by (V/βn) (n−2)/n, where V is the Euclidean volume of Ω and βn is the volume of the Eucli...
متن کاملA non-existence result for minimal catenoids in asymptotically flat spaces
We show that asymptotically Schwarzschildean 3-manifolds cannot contain minimal surfaces obtained by perturbative deformations of a Euclidean catenoid, no matter how small the ADM mass of the ambient space and how large the neck of the catenoid itself. Such an obstruction is sharply three-dimensional and ceases to hold for more general classes of asymptotically flat data.
متن کاملOn The Capacity of Surfaces in Manifolds with Nonnegative Scalar Curvature
Given a surface in an asymptotically flat 3-manifold with nonnegative scalar curvature, we derive an upper bound for the capacity of the surface in terms of the area of the surface and the Willmore functional of the surface. The capacity of a surface is defined to be the energy of the harmonic function which equals 0 on the surface and goes to 1 at ∞. Even in the special case of R, this is a ne...
