Abstract:

We prove a new positive mass theorem for three-dimensional manifolds which are asymptotically hyperboloidal of order greater than $1$. The mass quantity under consideration is the volume-renormalized mass recently introduced in a paper by Dahl, McCormick and the first author. The proof is based on a monotonicity formula holding along the level sets of the Green function for the Laplace operator centered at an arbitrary point. In order for this argument to work out, we require that the second homology of the manifold does not contain any spherical classes.
