Computes the outer mass of small metric spheres in time-symmetric slices.
problem Computing the outer mass of small metric spheres in time-symmetric slices.
method Analyzes the deviation from a standard sphere, estimates mass of a static vacuum extension, and uses geodesic ball shrinking to a point as an application.

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…

The classification of solutions of the static vacuum Einstein equations, on a given closed manifold or an asymptotically flat one, is a long-standing and much-studied problem.
