Positive mass conjecture for asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds with arbitrary ends

About 15 years old · traced to

Let (M,g)(M,g) be a complete Riemannian manifold with scalar curvature Rg≥−n(n−1)R_g\geq -n(n-1). Let E⊆M\mathcal{E}\subseteq M be an asymptotically hyperbolic end in MM.

Positive mass conjecture for arbitrary asymptotically hyperbolic ends. The mass functional of the end E\mathcal{E} is timelike future-directed or zero.

This is the asymptotically hyperbolic analogue of the positive mass theorem for arbitrary asymptotically flat ends. The source motivates it by the spin theorem and by results in restricted dimensions and settings, but gives no evidence here that the conjecture has been resolved in this generality.
