Equality characterization for the Riemannian ZAS inequality
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.
