A Penrose inequality for asymptotically locally hyperbolic graphs

Abstract

We use the inverse mean curvature flow to prove a sharp Alexandrov-Fenchel-type inequality for a class of hypersurfaces in certain locally hyperbolic manifolds. As an application we derive an optimal Penrose inequality for asymptotically locally hyperbolic graphs in any dimension $n\geq 3$. When the horizon has the topology of a compact surface of genus at least one, this provides an affirmative answer, for this class of initial data sets, to a question posed by Gibbons, Chru\'sciel and Simon on the validity of a Penrose-type inequality for black hole solutions carrying a higher genus horizon.
