A note on asymptotically flat metrics on ℝ³ which are scalar-flat and admit minimal spheres

Abstract: Abstract. We use constructions by Miao and Chruściel-Delay to produce asymptotically flat metrics on R 3 which have zero scalar curvature and multiple stable minimal spheres. Such metrics are solutions of the time-symmetric vacuum constraint equations of general relativity, and in this context the horizons of black holes are stable minimal spheres. We also note that under pointwise sectional curvature bounds, asymptotically flat metrics of nonnegative scalar curvature and small mass do not admit minimal sphere… Show more

“…The problem of stability for the Positive Mass Theorem has been studied by the first author in [19], by Finster with Bray and Kath in [5], [9] [8] and by Corvino in [6]. The work of Finster and his collaborators mainly focuses on using the ADM mass to obtain L 2 bounds on curvature.…”

“…Finster [Fin09] removed the dependence on the isoperimetric constant and obtained the L 2 bound of the curvature tensor with the exception of a set of small surface area. J. Corvino [Cor05] proved that a particular bound on the mass and sectional curvature of a threedimensional asymptotically flat manifold of nonnegative scalar curvature implies the manifold is diffeomorphic to R 3 . Under the assumption of conformal flatness and zero scalar curvature outside a compact set, the second author [Lee09] proved that if a sequence of smooth asymptotically flat metrics of nonnegative scalar curvature has mass approaching zero, then the sequence converges in smooth topology to the Euclidean metric outside a compact set.…”
