Initial data rigidity results

Abstract

We present several rigidity results for initial data sets motivated by the positive mass theorem. An important step in our proofs here is to establish conditions that ensure that a marginally outer trapped surface is "weakly outermost". A rigidity result for Riemannian manifolds with a lower bound on their scalar curvature is included as a special case.
