摘要

We provide a new proof of the equality case of the spacetime positive mass theorem, which states that if a complete asymptotically flat initial data set (Mgk) satisfying the dominant energy condition has null ADM energy-momentum (that is, \(|E|=|P|\) | E | = | P | ), then (Mg) must isometrically embed into Minkowski space with k as its second fundamental form. Previous proofs either used spinor methods [2, 5, 26], relied on the Jang equation [10, 16], or assumed three spatial dimensions [17]. In contrast, our new proof only requires knowing that \(E\ge |P|\) E | P | for all complete initial data sets near (gk) on M satisfying the dominant energy condition.
