A Positive Mass Theorem for Static Causal Fermion Systems

Felix Finster,
Andreas Platzer

Abstract: Asymptotically flat static causal fermion systems are introduced. Their total mass is defined as a limit of surface layer integrals which compare the measures describing the asymptotically flat space-time and a vacuum space-time near spatial infinity. Our definition does not involve any regularity assumptions; it even applies to singular or generalized "quantum" space-times. A positive mass theorem is proven. Our methods and results explain why and how the causal action principle incorporates the nonlinear eff… Show more

“…In this way, we get into the setting of causal variational principles as introduced in Section 2.1. The resulting static κ-Lagrangian indeed has the properties (i)-(iv) in Section 2.1 (for details see [18,Section 3.3]).…”

“…Therefore, we consider vector fields which are tangential to the hypersurfaces N t := T −1 (t). As shown in [29,Lemma 2.7], the divergence of such a vector field can be arranged to be any given function a ∈ C ∞ (M, R). Thus, by adding the corresponding inner solutions we can achieve that all linearized solutions have no scalar components.…”
