Ilmanen's quantitative stability conjecture for the positive mass theorem

Let (Mi,gi)(M_i,g_i) be a sequence of asymptotically flat 33-manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature and ADM mass m(gi)m(g_i) tending to 00. Suppose ZiMiZ_i\subset M_i are the subsets whose removal yields Gromov–Hausdorff convergence to Euclidean 33-space as in the Huisken–Ilmanen stability conjecture. Ilmanen's quantitative stability conjecture. The subsets ZiZ_i can be chosen so that

Area(Zi)16πm(gi)2.\operatorname{Area}(\partial Z_i)\leq 16\pi m(g_i)^2.

The proposed estimate is motivated by the Penrose inequality and strengthens qualitative stability by prescribing an explicit upper bound for the exceptional boundary area in terms of the ADM mass. Its resolution is not supplied in the source.
