A holographic principle for the existence of imaginary Killing spinors

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

Suppose that Σ=∂ΩΣ=\partialΩ is the nn-dimensional boundary, with positive (inward) mean curvature HH, of a connected compact (n+1)(n+1)-dimensional Riemannian spin manifold (Ωn+1,g)(Ω^{n+1},g) whose scalar curvature R≥−n(n+1)k2R\ge -n(n+1)k^2, for some $k\textgreater{}0$. If ΣΣ admits an isometric and isospin immersion FF into the hyperbolic space Hn+1_−k2{\mathbb{H}^{n+1}\_{-k^2}}, we define a quasi-local mass and prove its positivity as well as the associated rigidity statement. The proof is based on a holographic principle for the existence of an imaginary Killing spinor. For n=2n=2, we also show that its limit, for coordinate spheres in an Asymptotically Hyperbolic (AH) manifold, is the mass of the (AH) manifold.
