Gibbons–Penrose inequality for surfaces in Schwarzschild spacetime
Gibbons–Penrose inequality for surfaces in Schwarzschild spacetime
Let be a spacelike -surface in Schwarzschild spacetime, and let denote its dual mean curvature vector. Suppose that the past null hypersurface generated by is smooth. Let be the total mass of the Schwarzschild spacetime. Gibbons–Penrose conjecture. Then
This extends the Minkowski-space inequality by including the Schwarzschild mass term. The source does not state a resolution, so the conjecture is treated as open.
