On the stability of the positive mass theorem for asymptotically hyperbolic graphs (Q2273607)

The authors examine the stability of the positive mass theorem for asymptotically hyperbolic graphs. They show the following. Theorem 1.1. Let \(M^i\) be a sequence of balanced asymptotically hyperbolic graphs in hyperbolic space \(\mathbb{H}^{n+1}\) for \(n\ge3\). Assume the scalar curvature is at least \(-n(n-1)\) and the mean curvature vector points upwards. Assume almost every level set of \(M^i\) is star shaped and outer-minimizing in the hyperbolic hyperplane. Let \(m^i\) be the mass of \(M^i\). Normalize the height so that the level sets \(M^i\cap\{s=0\}\) has volume equal to \(\max\{2\beta(m^i)^{n-1}{n-2}\omega_{n-i},2\beta\omega_{n-1}m^i\}\). Here, \(\omega_n\) is the volume of the round \(n\)-dimensional sphere and \(\beta>1\) is any fixed constant. Then, if \(m^i\rightarrow0\), the sequence \(\{M^i\}\) converges to \(\{s=0\}\) in the sense of currents. The authors adapt methods of \textit{L.-H. Huang} et al. [J. Reine Angew. Math. 727, 269--299 (2017; Zbl 1368.53028)]. A differential inequality is derived for the volume of the level sets which is used to estimate the maximum height of the graph in terms of the ADM mass. Section 1 contains an introduction to the matter at hand. Section 2 deals with the mass of asymptotically hyperbolic graphs. Section 3 introduces rescaling of asymptotically hyperbolic graphs. Section 4 presents volume estimates. Section 5 reviews some basic definitions and facts concerning convergence in the flat norm and completes the proof of Theorem 1.1.
