Proves mass theorem for spacetimes with irregular curvature.
problem Proving mass theorem for spacetimes with irregular curvature.
method Introduced distributional curvature and generalized ADM momentum.
result Proved Lorentzian positive mass theorem.
We formulate and prove the Lorentzian version of the positive mass theorems with arbitrary negative cosmological constant for asymptotically AdS spacetimes. This work is the continuation of the second author's recent work on the positive mass theorem on asymptotically hyperbolic 3-manifolds.
We extend the positive mass theorem proved previously by the author to the Lorentzian setting. This includes the original higher dimensional positive energy theorem whose spinor proof was given by Witten in dimension four and by Xiao Zhang in dimension five.
We consider 3+1 rotationally symmetric Lorentzian Einstein spacetime manifolds with Λ>0 and reduce the equations to 2+1 Einstein equations coupled to `shifted' wave maps. Subsequently, we prove various (explicit) positive mass-energy theorems. No smallness is assumed.
