Abstract: We prove that the Riemannian Penrose Inequality holds for Asymptotically Flat $3$-manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature and a connected horizon boundary, provided the optimal decay assumptions are met, which result in the $mathrmADM$ mass being a well-defined geometric invariant. Our proof builds on new asymptotic comparison arguments involving Huisken's Isoperimetric mass and the Hawking mass, as well as a novel interplay between the Hawking mass and a potential-theoretic version of it, recently introduced by Agostiniani, Oronzio and the third named author. As a crucial step in our argument, we establish a Riemannian Penrose Inequality in terms of the Isoperimetric mass, on any $3$-manifold with nonnegative scalar curvature and connected horizon boundary, on which a well posed notion of weak Inverse Mean Curvature Flow is available. In particular, such an Isoperimetric Riemannian Penrose Inequality does not require the asymptotic flatness of the manifold.
