Geometry of static perfect fluid space-time

Abstract

In this article, we investigate the geometry of static perfect fluid space-time on compact manifolds with boundary. We use the generalized Reilly's formula to establish a geometric inequality for a static perfect fluid space-time involving the area of the boundary and its volume. Moreover, we obtain new boundary estimates for static perfect fluid space-time. One of the boundary estimates is obtained in terms of the Brown-York mass and another one related to the first eigenvalue of the Jacobi operator. In addition, we provide a new (simply connected) counterexample to the Cosmic no-hair conjecture for arbitrary dimension $n\ge 4.$
