Abstract: We study rigidity of minimal two-spheres $Sigma$ that locally maximize the Hawking mass on a Riemannian three-manifold with a positive lower bound on its scalar curvature. After assuming strict stability of $Sigma$, we prove that a neighborhood of it in $M$ is isometric to one of the deSitter-Schwarzschild metrics on $(-epsilon,epsilon)imesSigma$. We also show that if $Sigma$ is a critical point for the Hawking mass on the deSitter-Schwarzschild manifold $mathbbRimesSp{h}^2$ and can be written as a graph over a slice $Sigm{a}_r=rimesmathbb{S}^2$, then $Sigma$ itself must be a slice, and moreover that slices are indeed local maxima amongst competitors that are graphs with small $C^2$-norm.
