Intrinsic flat almost rigidity of the hyperbolic positive mass theorem
Intrinsic flat almost rigidity of the hyperbolic positive mass theorem
Let be a sequence of asymptotically hyperbolic Riemannian manifolds with scalar curvature and mass tending to zero. Assume that contains no closed interior minimal surfaces, and that either has no boundary or its boundary is a closed minimal surface. Fix and , and let be constant mean curvature surfaces of fixed area . For a hypersurface , write for its tubular neighborhood of radius , and let be a geodesic sphere in hyperbolic space with , centered at a point . Intrinsic flat almost rigidity of the hyperbolic positive mass theorem. The tubular neighborhoods satisfy
and
Consequently, if , then converges in the pointed intrinsic flat sense to . This conjecture is an intrinsic-flat stability statement for the positive mass theorem in the asymptotically hyperbolic setting: vanishing mass should force convergence to hyperbolic space once points are anchored on fixed-area CMC surfaces. The parser supplies no evidence that it has been resolved, so its status remains open.
