报告摘要:Schoen-Yau and Witten demonstrated that the total mass m of asymptotically flat initial data sets(IDS) in general relativity are non-negative. Combining spinorial methods with spacetime harmonic functions, we prove that if m=0, the IDS must embed into a pp-wave spacetime. This resolves the rigidity conjecture for the spacetime positive mass theorem on spin manifolds in all dimensions. Furthermore, adapting these techniques to the hyperboloidal setting, we establish that asymptotically hyperboloidal IDS with zero mass must embed isometrically into Minkowski space, contrasting with the asymptotically flat case. It is joint work with Sven Hirsch and Hyun Chul Jang.
