    Levi Lopes de Lima (DM–UFC) A Penrose inequality São Paulo, July 2013 1 / 23

  • Joint work with Fred Girão (UFC/Fortaleza).

    We use the inverse mean curvature flow to prove a sharp Alexandrov-Fenchel-type inequalityfor strictly mean convex hypersurfaces in a certain class of locally hyperbolic manifolds ofdimension n ≥ 3.

    This provides natural generalizations of the classical Minkowski inequality for convexhypersufaces in Rn.

    As an application we establish an optimal Penrose inequality for asymptotically locallyhyperbolic (ALH) graphs carrying a minimal horizon, with a precise description of whathappens in the equality case.

    This provides a large class of examples of initial data sets (corresponding to time-symmetricsolutions of Einstein equations in General Relativity with a negative cosmological constant)for which an optimal Penrose inequality holds true.

    In particular, in the physical dimension n = 3 we obtain, for this class of IDS, a proof of aPenrose-type inequality for exotic black holes solutions first conjectured by Gibbons andChruściel-Simon.

  • The reference metrics (Chruściel-Herzlich-Nagy)

    Fix n ≥ 3, � = 0,±1 and let (Nn−1, h) be a closed space form with curvature �.

    In the product manifold P� = I� × N, consider the metric

    g� =dr2

    ρ�(r)2+ r2h, r ∈ I�,

    whereρ�(r) =

    √r2 + �.

    Here, I−1 = (1,+∞) and I0 = I1 = (0,+∞).

    The metric g� is locally hyperbolic (Kg� ≡ −1).

    For instance, if � = 1 and (N, h) is a round sphere then (P1, g1) is hyperbolic space Hn.

    Also, if � = 0 and (N2, h) is a torus then (P0, g0) is a cusp manifold.

  • Asymptotically locally hyperbolic manifolds (Chruściel-Herzlich-Nagy)

    Definition

    Fix � and (N, h) as above. A complete n-dimensional manifold (M, g), possibly carrying a compactinner boundary Σ, is said to be asymptotically locally hyperbolic (ALH) if there exist subsetsK ⊂ M and K0 ⊂ P�, with K compact, and a diffeomorphism Ψ : M − K → P� − K0 such that

    ‖Ψ∗g − g�‖g� = O(r−τ ), ‖DΨ∗g‖g� = O(r−τ ), r → +∞,

    for some τ > n/2. We also assume that Rg + n(n − 1) ∈ L1.

    For this class of manifolds, a mass-like invariant m(M,g) ∈ R can be defined as

    m(M,g) = limr→+∞cn

    ˆNr

    (ρ�(divg�e − d trg�e)− i∇g�ρ�e + (trg�dρ�)

    )(νr )dNr ,

    where e = Ψ∗g − g�, Nr = {r} × N, νr is the outward unit vector to Nr and

    cn =1

    2(n − 1)τn−1, τn−1 = arean−1(N, h).

    This invariant measures the rate of the convergence g → g0,� as r → +∞.

  • The integral formula for the mass

    For any hypersurface M ⊂ Q� = R× P� endowed with a unit normal N, an old formula byReilly says that

    divM (G(A)X) = 2σ2(A)Θ,

    where G(A) = σ1(A)I − A is the Newton tensor of the shape operator A, X is the tangentialcomponent of ∂/∂t and Θ = 〈N, ∂/∂t〉. This uses that ∂/∂t is Killing and that Kg� ≡ −1.

    Assume from now on that M ⊂ Q� is ALH and its inner boundary Σ lies on a horizontal totallygeodesic hypersurface, say P ' P�. Assume further that M meets P orthogonally along Σ(which implies that Σ ⊂ M is minimal and hence a horizon).

    m(M,g) = cnˆ

  • The proof of hyperbolic AF VI (rigidity)

    The analysis here is based on recent work by Huang and Wu.

    If the equality holds in Penrose then σ2(A) = 0, which implies that the graph M ⊂ Hn+1 ismean convex (σ1(A) ≥ 0).

    An elementary algebraic inequality then implies that

    G(A) := σ1(A)I − A ≥ 0,

    which means by a classical computation that the graph M is an elliptic solution of σ2(A) = 0.

    Since the black hole solution is elliptic as well, the rigidity follows by applying a suitableversion of the Maximum Principle.
