Penrose's inequality for asymptotically Euclidean manifolds

From papers

Let (Md,g)(M^d,g) be a complete asymptotically Euclidean manifold of real dimension dd with non-negative scalar curvature and an outermost minimal hypersurface Σ\Sigma. Write mADMm_{ADM} for its ADM mass, V(Σ)V(\Sigma) for the volume of Σ\Sigma, and

VE(Σ1)=2πd(d1)!V_E(\Sigma_1)=\frac{2\pi^d}{(d-1)!}

for the volume of the Euclidean unit hypersphere. Penrose's inequality. The ADM mass satisfies

mADM12(V(Σ)VE(Σ1))d2d1.m_{ADM}\geq \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{V(\Sigma)}{V_E(\Sigma_1)}\right)^{\frac{d-2}{d-1}}.

Moreover, equality holds if and only if MdM^d is isometric to a spatial Schwarzschild manifold outside its horizon. This is the Riemannian Penrose inequality, proved up to dimension eight in the cited work; the source presents it as a classical conjecture in the general Riemannian setting.
