Abstract In this paper, we define an energy-momentum vector at the spatial infinity of either asymptotically flat or asymptotically hyperbolic initial data sets carrying a non-compact boundary. Under suitable dominant energy conditions (DECs) imposed both on the interior and along the boundary, we prove the corresponding positive mass inequalities under the assumption that the underlying manifold is spin. In the asymptotically flat case, we also prove a rigidity statement when the energy-momentum vector is light-like. Our treatment aims to underline both the common features and the differences between the asymptotically Euclidean and hyperbolic settings, especially regarding the boundary DECs.

Positive Gauss Curvature

We construct asymptotically flat, scalar flat extensions of Bartnik data [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is a metric of positive Gauss curvature on a two-sphere [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] is a function that is either positive or identically zero on [Formula: see text], such that the mass of the extension can be made arbitrarily close to the half area radius of [Formula: see text]. In the case of [Formula: see text], the result gives an analog of a theorem of Mantoulidis and Schoen [On the Bartnik mass of apparent horizons, Class. Quantum Grav. 32(20) (2015) 205002, 16 pp.], but with extensions that have vanishing scalar curvature. In the context of initial data sets in general relativity, the result produces asymptotically flat, time-symmetric, vacuum initial data with an apparent horizon [Formula: see text], for any metric [Formula: see text] with positive Gauss curvature, such that the mass of the initial data is arbitrarily close to the optimal value in the Riemannian Penrose inequality. The method we use is the Shi–Tam type metric construction from [Positive mass theorem and the boundary behaviors of compact manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature, J. Differential Geom. 62(1) (2002) 79–125] and a refined Shi–Tam monotonicity, found by the first named author in [On a localized Riemannian Penrose inequality, Commun. Math. Phys. 292(1) (2009) 271–284].

Abstract We generalize a notion of ‘conserved’ charges given by Wald and Zoupas to the asymptotically de Sitter spacetimes. Surprisingly, our construction is less ambiguous than the one encountered in the asymptotically flat context. An expansion around exact solutions possessing Killing vectors provides their physical meaning. In particular, we discuss a question of how to define energy and angular momenta of gravitational waves propagating on Kottler and Carter backgrounds. We show that obtained expressions have a correct limit as Λ → 0. We also comment on the relation between this approach and the one based on the canonical phase space of initial data at ℐ+.
