Geometric stability of the Schoen–Yau zero mass rigidity theorem

Less than 1 year old · traced to

Let Mj3M_j^3 be a sequence of three-dimensional manifolds in the class M\mathcal{M}, and let mADM(Mj3)m_{ADM}(M_j^3) denote their ADM masses. Let E3{\mathbb E}^3 denote Euclidean three-space. Geometric stability of the zero mass rigidity theorem. If

Scal⁡≥0andmADM(Mj3)→0,\operatorname{Scal}\ge 0 \quad\text{and}\quad m_{ADM}(M_j^3)\to 0,

then Mj3M_j^3 should converge to E3{\mathbb E}^3 with respect to some geometric notion of convergence. This is the proposed stability analogue of the Schoen–Yau zero mass rigidity theorem; the source leaves the precise geometric convergence notion unspecified, and the conjecture remains open.
