Proof of a Null Geometry Penrose Conjecture using a New Quasi-Local Mass
Abstract:
We construct a new quasi-local mass in space-time and show that this mass is non-decreasing along any null flow of doubly convex 2-spheres. As a result, we prove the Penrose conjecture for conical null slices, or null cones, under fairly generic conditions.
