Hawking Mass Compactness conjecture
Hawking Mass Compactness conjecture
Let be a sequence of three-dimensional oriented manifolds satisfying
Assume also
and either that there are no closed interior minimal surfaces or that . Hawking Mass Compactness conjecture. A subsequence should converge in the intrinsic flat sense, with
and should satisfy the scalar-curvature and Hawking-mass bounds in some generalized sense. One might replace Hawking mass by another quasilocal mass. This is known in the rotationally symmetric setting when there are no closed interior minimal surfaces, but the general compactness statement remains open.
