Abstract
We prove an optimal Penrose-like inequality for the mass of any asymptotically flat Riemannian 3-manifold having an inner minimal 2-sphere and nonnegative scalar curvature. Our result shows that the mass is bounded from below by an expression involving the area of the minimal sphere (as in the original Penrose conjecture) and some nomalized Sobolev ratio. As expected, the equality case is achieved if and only if the metric is that of a standard spacelike slice in the Schwarzschild space.

The Penrose inequality in general relativity and volume comparison theorems involving scalar curvature

TL;DR: In this paper, minimal surface techniques were used to prove the Penrose inequality in general relativity for two classes of 3-manifolds, and a new volume comparison theorem involving scalar curvature for 3-Manifolds followed from these same techniques.

On the proof of the positive mass conjecture in general relativity

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the total mass associated with each asymptotic regime is non-negative with equality only if the space-time is flat, which is the assumption of the existence of a maximal spacelike hypersurface.
