Almaraz–Barbosa–de Lima positive mass conjecture with non-compact boundary

From papers

Let (M,g)(M,g) be an asymptotically flat Riemannian manifold with non-compact boundary, scalar curvature RR and boundary mean curvature HH. Almaraz–Barbosa–de Lima conjecture. If (M,g)(M, g) is asymptotically flat and satisfies R0R \ge 0 and H0H \ge 0, then

m(M,g)0.m(M,g) \ge 0.

Equality occurs if and only if (M,g)(M, g) is isometric to (R+n,δ)(\mathbb{R}^n_+, \delta). The conjecture is a positive mass theorem for asymptotically flat manifolds with non-compact boundary; the source notes that it was proved when either 3n73 \le n \le 7 or n3n \ge 3 and MM is spin, leaving the general case open.
