In [13], a new quasi-local energy is introduced for spacetimes with a non-zero cosmological constant. In this article, we study the small sphere limit of this newly defined quasi-local energy for spacetimes with a negative cosmological constant. For such spacetimes, the anti de-Sitter space is used as the reference for the quasi-local energy. Given a point $p$ in a spacetime $N$, we consider a canonical family of surfaces approaching $p$ along its future null cone and evaluate the limit of the quasi-local energy. The optimal embedding equation which identifies the critical points of the quasi-local energy is solved in order to evaluate the limit. Using the optimal embedding, we show that the limit recovers the stress-energy tensor of the matter field at $p$. For vacuum spacetimes, the quasi-local energy vanishes to a higher order. In this case, the limit of the quasi-local energy is related to the Bel-Robinson tensor at $p$.
We establish the positive energy theorem for weak asymptotically anti-de Sitter initial data sets with distributional curvature under the weak dominant energy condition.
Non-degeneracy of Riemannian Schwarzschild-anti de Sitter metrics: Birkhoff-type results in linearized gravity
我们证明了Birkhoff型的结果，证明了在任意维和视界拓扑中，不受“主函数”控制的线性化Einstein方程在Riemannian Kottler（“Schwarzschild-anti de Sitter”）度规下的$L^2$解是纯规范的.与以前的结果一起，这意味着这些度量的$TT$规范固定的线性化爱因斯坦算子是非退化的质量参数的开放范围。
This paper addresses pure gauge questions in the study of (asymptotically) de Sitter spacetimes. We construct global solutions to the eikonal equation on de Sitter, whose level sets give rise to double null foliations, and give detailed estimates for the structure coefficients in this gauge. We show two results which are relevant for the foliations used in the stability problem of the expanding region of Schwarzschild de Sitter spacetimes [Schlue (2016)]: (i) Small perturbations of round spheres on the cosmological horizons lead to spheres that pinch off at infinity. (ii) Globally well behaved…
We prove that the $TT$-gauge-fixed linearised Einstein operator is non-degenerate for Riemannian Kottler ("Schwarzschild-anti de Sitter") metrics with dimension- and topology-dependent ranges of mass parameter. We provide evidence that this remains true for all such metrics except the spherical ones with a critical mass.
We construct minimal surfaces in hyperbolic and anti-de Sitter 3-space with the topology of a $n$-punctured sphere by loop group factorization methods. The end behavior of the surfaces is based on the asymptotics of Delaunay-type surfaces, i.e., rotational symmetric minimal cylinders. The minimal surfaces in $\mathrm{H}^3$ extend to Willmore surfaces in the conformal 3-sphere $\mathrm{S}^3=\mathrm{H}^3\cup\mathrm{S}^2\cup\mathrm{H}^3$.
In 1951, H. Hopf proved that the only surfaces, homeomorphic to the sphere, with constant mean curvature in the Euclidean space are the round (geometrical) spheres. These results were generalized by S. S. Chern, and then by Eschenburg and Tribuzy, for surfaces, homeomorphic to the sphere, in Riemannian manifolds with constant sectional curvature whose mean curvature function satisfies some bound on its differential. In this paper, using techniques partial differential equations in the complex plane which generalizes the notion of holomorphy, we extend these results for surfaces in a wide class…
In this paper we combine our recent work on regular globally hyperbolic maximal anti-de Sitter structures with the classical theory of globally hyperbolic maximal Cauchy-compact anti-de Sitter manifolds in order to define an augmented moduli space. Moreover, we introduce a coordinate system in this space that resembles the complex Fenchel-Nielsen coordinates for hyperbolic quasi-Fuchsian manifolds.
