Spacetime Bartnik Mass Positivity and Temporal Monotonicity for Black Holes
Lars Andersson, Marcus Khuri, Marc Mars +1
We define a quasilocal mass of Bartnik type, and establish its positivity and temporal monotonicity properties for two classes of domains associated with black holes. More precisel…

Rigidity aspects of a cosmological singularity theorem
Eric Ling, Carl Rossdeutscher, Walter Simon +1
Improving a singularity theorem in General Relativity by Galloway and Ling we show the following (cf.\ Theorem 1): If a globally hyperbolic spacetime satisfying the null energy…

Marginally outer trapped tubes in de Sitter spacetime
Marc Mars, Walter Simon, Roland Steinbauer +1
We prove two results which are relevant for constructing marginally outer trapped tubes (MOTTs) in de Sitter spacetime. The first one holds more generally, namely for spacetimes sa…
