Global uniqueness of large stable CMC spheres in asymptotically flat Riemannian \(3\)-manifolds (Q2073277): Difference between revisions

Let \((M,g)\) be a connected, complete Riemannian \(3\)-manifold, \(C^5\)-asymptotic to Schwarzschild, with mass \(m>0\). It is known that the complement of a compact subset of \(M\) admits a foliation by distinguished stable constant mean curvature spheres. The main result of this paper states that if \((M,g)\) is a manifold as before, whose scalar curvature vanishes and with horizon boundary, then every connected, closed, embedded, stable constant mean curvature surface in \((M,g)\), of large enough area, is a leaf of the canonical foliation.
