چکیده
We consider an asymptotically flat Lorentzian manifold of dimension (1, 3). An inequality is derived which bounds the Riemannian curvature tensor in terms of the ADM energy in the general case with second fundamental form. The inequality quantifies in which sense the Lorentzian manifold becomes flat in the limit when the ADM energy tends to zero.

Curvature Estimates in Asymptotically Flat Manifolds of Positive Scalar Curvature
Suppose that (Mn, g) is an asymptotically flat Riemannian spin manifold of positive scalar curvature. The positive mass theorem [1, 2, 3] states that the total mass of the manifold is always positive, and is zero if and only if the manifold is flat. This result suggests that there should be an inequality which bounds the Riemann tensor in terms of the total mass and implies that curvature must ...

متن کاملOn $(epsilon)$ - Lorentzian para-Sasakian Manifolds
The object of this paper is to study $(epsilon)$-Lorentzian para-Sasakian manifolds. Some typical identities for the curvature tensor and the Ricci tensor of $(epsilon)$-Lorentzian para-Sasakian manifold are investigated. Further, we study globally $phi$-Ricci symmetric and weakly $phi$-Ricci symmetric $(epsilon)$-Lorentzian para-Sasakian manifolds and obtain interesting results.
متن کاملConformally Flat Lorentzian Three-spaces with Various Properties of Symmetry and Homogeneity
We study conformally flat Lorentzian three-manifolds which are either semi-symmetric or pseudo-symmetric. Their complete classification is obtained under hypotheses of local homogeneity and curvature homogeneity. Moreover, examples which are not curvature homogeneous are described.
متن کاملOn the Uniqueness of the Foliation of Spheres of Constant Mean Curvature in Asymptotically Flat 3-manifolds
Abstract. In this note we study constant mean curvature surfaces in asymptotically flat 3-manifolds. We prove that, outside a given compact subset in an asymptotically flat 3-manifold with positive mass, stable spheres of given constant mean curvature are unique. Therefore we are able to conclude that there is a unique foliation of stable spheres of constant mean curvature in an asymptotically ...
