Variational Effect of Boundary Mean Curvature on ADM Mass in General Relativity

Pengzi Miao

英文摘要:

We extend the idea and techniques in \cite{Miao} to study variational effect of the boundary geometry on the ADM mass of an asymptotically flat manifold. We show that, for a Lipschitz asymptotically flat metric extension of a bounded Riemannian domain with quasi-convex boundary, if the boundary mean curvature of the extension is dominated by but not identically equal to the one determined by the given domain, we can decrease its ADM mass while raising its boundary mean curvature. Thus our analysis implies that, for a domain with quasi-convex boundary, the geometric boundary condition holds in Bartnik's minimal mass extension conjecture \cite{Bartnik_energy}.
