Equality characterization for the Riemannian ZAS inequality
Let be as in Theorem of the Riemannian ZAS inequality, with boundary consisting of zero area singularities, ADM mass , and ZAS mass . Assume that .
Equality characterization conjecture. Then is isometric to a Schwarzschild metric with finitely many points deleted when , or to the flat metric on with finitely many points deleted when .
The conjecture asserts that deleted points are the only obstruction to uniqueness of the Schwarzschild ZAS in the equality case. The source presents it as an open question for non-harmonically regular ZAS.
