We establish a Penrose-Like Inequality for general (not necessarily time symmetric) initial data sets of the Einstein equations which satisfy the dominant energy condition. More precisely, it is shown that the ADM energy is bounded below by an expression which is proportional to the square root of the area of the outer…

The paper explores rigid geometric structures near surfaces with equality in area-charge inequalities.

We present a gluing construction which adds, via a localized deformation, exactly Delaunay ends to generic metrics with constant positive scalar curvature. This provides time-symmetric initial data sets for the vacuum Einstein equations with positive cosmological constant with exactly Kottler-Schwarzschild-de Sitter en…

The paper proves positive energy-momentum theorems for charged AdS initial data sets.

In arXiv:0905.2622v1 and arXiv:0910.4785v1, Bray and Khuri outlined an approach to prove the Penrose inequality for general initial data sets of the Einstein equations. In this paper we extend this approach so that it may be applied to a charged version of the Penrose inequality. Moreover, assuming that the initial dat…

New solutions found with negative mass in general relativity.

Given a collection of N solutions of the (3+1) vacuum Einstein constraint equations which are asymptotically Euclidean, we show how to construct a new solution of the constraints which is itself asymptotically Euclidean, and which contains specified sub-regions of each of the N given solutions. This generalizes earlier…

We prove the spacetime positive mass theorem in dimensions less than eight. This theorem states that for any asymptotically flat initial data set satisfying the dominant energy condition, the ADM energy-momentum vector $(E,P)$ of the initial data satisfies the inequality $E \ge |P|$. Previously, this theorem was proven…

Study proves inequality linking black hole properties and angular momentum.

We consider several geometric inequalities in general relativity involving mass, area, charge, and angular momentum for asymptotically hyperboloidal initial data. We show how to reduce each one to the known maximal (or time symmetric) case in the asymptotically flat setting, whenever a geometrically motivated system of…

Proves stability of spacetime Penrose inequality for spherical symmetric initial data.

Proves Penrose inequality for cohomogeneity one initial data sets.

The purpose of this paper is twofold: firstly, to establish sufficient conditions under which the mean curvature flow supported on a hypersphere with exterior Dirichlet boundary exists globally in time and converges to a minimal surface, and secondly, to illustrate the application of Killing vector fields in the preser…

Constructs initial data leading to apparent horizons and tests Penrose Inequality.

In this paper, we initiate the study of the instability of naked singularities without symmetries. In a series of papers, Christodoulou proved that naked singularities are not stable in the context of the spherically symmetric Einstein equations coupled with a massless scalar field. We study in this paper the next simp…

We construct a time-symmetric asymptotically flat initial data set to the Einstein-Maxwell Equations which satisfies the inequality: m - 1/2(R + Q^2/R) < 0, where m is the total mass, R=sqrt(A/4) is the area radius of the outermost horizon and Q is the total charge. This yields a counter-example to a natural extension …

We study Ricci flows on $R^n$, $n\ge 3$, that evolve from asymptotically flat initial data. Under mild conditions on the initial data, we show that the flow exists and remains asymptotically flat for an interval of time. The mass is constant in time along the flow. We then specialize to the case of rotationally symmetr…

We prove positive mass theorem with angular momentum and charges for axially symmetric, simply connected, maximal, complete initial data sets with two ends, one designated asymptotically flat and the other either (Kaluza-Klein) asymptotically flat or asymptotically cylindrical, for 4-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell theory…

We give general sufficient conditions for the existence of trapped surfaces due to concentration of matter in spherically symmetric initial data sets satisfying the dominant energy condition. These results are novel in that they apply and are meaningful for arbitrary spacelike slices, that is they do not require any au…

Unique solutions found for wave-like decaying null infinity equations.

We introduce a natural generalization of marginally outer trapped surfaces, called immersed marginally outer trapped surfaces, and prove that three dimensional asymptotically flat initial data sets either contain such surfaces or are diffeomorphic to R^3. We establish a generalization of the Penrose singularity theorem…

New proof of Penrose inequality using potential theory.

We study surfaces evolving by mean curvature flow (MCF). For an open set of initial data that are $C^3$-close to round, but without assuming rotational symmetry or positive mean curvature, we show that MCF solutions become singular in finite time by forming neckpinches, and we obtain detailed asymptotics of that singul…

Localized big bang singularities found without background solutions.

We prove several global existence theorems for spacetimes with toroidal or hyperbolic symmetry with respect to a geometrically defined time. More specifically, we prove that generically, the maximal Cauchy development of $T^2$-symmetric initial data with positive cosmological constant $Λ>0$, in the vacuum or with Vlaso…

Unique global solutions found for specific initial data.

We prove stability of rotationally symmetric translating solutions to mean curvature flow. For initial data that converge spatially at infinity to such a soliton, we obtain convergence for large times to that soliton without imposing any decay rates.

Paper bounds mass of 3D Einstein data using spacetime harmonic functions.

DAIS minimizes symmetrized KL divergence between initial and target distributions.

We consider the normalized Ricci flow evolving from an initial metric which is conformally compactifiable and asymptotically hyperbolic. We show that there is a unique evolving metric which remains in this class, and that the flow exists up to the time where the norm of the Riemann tensor diverges. Restricting to initi…

We study the long time existence theory for a non local flow associated to a free boundary problem for a trapped non liquid drop. The drop has free boundary components on two horizontal plates and its free energy is anisotropic and axially symmetric. For axially symmetric initial surfaces with sufficiently large volume…

We establish inequalities relating the size of a material body to its mass, angular momentum, and charge, within the context of axisymmetric initial data sets for the Einstein equations. These inequalities hold in general without the assumption of the maximal condition, and use a notion of size which is easily computab…

We construct asymptotically flat, scalar flat extensions of Bartnik data $(Σ, γ, H)$, where $γ$ is a metric of positive Gauss curvature on a two-sphere $Σ$, and $H$ is a function that is either positive or identically zero on $Σ$, such that the mass of the extension can be made arbitrarily close to the half area radius…

We study the curve diffusion flow for closed curves immersed in the Minkowski plane $\mathcal{M}$, which is equivalent to the Euclidean plane endowed with a closed, symmetric, convex curve called an indicatrix that scales the length of a vector in $\mathcal{M}$ depending on its length. The indiactrix $\partial\mathcal{…

We prove some related results concerning blow-up solutions for the Jang equation. First: it has been shown that, given an outermost marginally outer trapped surface (MOTS) Σ, there exists a solution to Jang's equation which blows up at Σ. Here we show that in addition, large classes of spherically symmetric initial dat…
