Mass-systole conjecture for generalized asymptotically flat manifolds
Mass-systole conjecture for generalized asymptotically flat manifolds
Let be a generalized asymptotically flat manifold: is a complete Riemannian -manifold without boundary, with , is an asymptotically flat end, and . Define
Mass-systole conjecture. If has nonnegative scalar curvature, then
Moreover, equality holds if and only if either is isometric to Euclidean space, or there is a strictly outer-minimizing minimal -sphere homologous to such that the region outside is isometric to the half spatial Schwarzschild manifold with mass .
This conjecture seeks a mass-capacity-type inequality for generalized asymptotically flat manifolds and is motivated by applications to spatial slices of the extreme Reissner–Nordström spacetime. The supplied source does not state whether the conjecture has been resolved.
