Asymptotically hyperbolic Penrose inequality

About 12 years old · traced to

Suppose that (M,g)(M,g) is a compact perturbation of Schwarzschild-anti-de Sitter of mass m?\boldsymbol{m}\text{?} and has scalar curvature Rg≥−6R_g\geq -6. If m∂M≥0m_{\partial M}\geq 0 satisfies

Hg2(∂M)≥Hg‾m∂M2(∂M‾m∂M),\mathcal H_g^2(\partial M)\geq \mathcal H_{\overline g_{m_{\partial M}}}^2(\partial\overline M_{m_{\partial M}}),

then m≥m∂M\boldsymbol{m}\geq m_{\partial M}, with equality if and only if (M,g)(M,g) is isometric to Schwarzschild–anti-de Sitter of mass mm. Asymptotically hyperbolic Penrose inequality. This asserts that the mass of the asymptotically hyperbolic manifold is bounded below by the boundary mass determined by its horizon area, with equality only for Schwarzschild–anti-de Sitter. The conjecture is presented as a conjectured inequality; the supplied text gives no resolution status.

RemarkAI-assistedClaimed by OpenAI. Claims the spacetime Penrose Inequality for smooth three-dimensional initial-data exteriors with one spherical asymptotically anti-de Sitter end, satisfying the stated decay and integrability assumptions, the dominant energy condition, and a compact weakly future outer trapped boundary. The hyperbolic metric four-flux is assumed to be future timelike; its Lorentz norm is the mass, and the area is the infimum over full enclosing cuts.See full solutionHide full solution

Scope relative to this problem: This is related asymptotically hyperbolic spacetime progress with one spherical conformal end, future-timelike mass four-flux/covector and minimum-enclosing-area bounds under the stated decay, integrability and weak future trapping; the maximal companion assumes maximal data. The target is phrased as a Riemannian compact perturbation with physical boundary area and an unspecified mass parameter. Those definitions and target equality are not identified with the source theorem; no complete target resolution is asserted.

Claimed by OpenAI. Claims the asymptotically hyperbolic Penrose inequality for sufficiently small maximal vacuum conformal perturbations of a positive-mass Schwarzschild–anti-de Sitter exterior, for every fixed decaying transverse-traceless seed and every solution branch satisfying the stated decay and mass assumptions.

Scope relative to this problem: This is a local-family result for sufficiently small maximal vacuum conformal perturbations of positive-mass Schwarzschild-AdS, each fixed decaying transverse-traceless seed and each branch satisfying the stated mass/decay assumptions. It uses the MOTS physical area, without outermostness or outer area-minimization. It does not establish all compact perturbations or the entire equality statement of the target.
