The positive mass conjecture with a noncompact boundary
The positive mass conjecture with a noncompact boundary
Let be an asymptotically flat Riemannian manifold of dimension and order , with integrable scalar curvature and integrable mean curvature on its noncompact boundary. Suppose that an end of is modeled on outside a compact set, and let be the corresponding mass. Positive mass conjecture with a noncompact boundary. If , then
and equality holds if and only if is isometric to . The source notes that the corresponding theorem is available in the spin case through the cited boundary extension, but does not state a complete resolution of the conjecture in general.
