Positive mass theorems of ALF and ALG manifolds

Abstract

In this paper, we want to prove positive mass theorems for ALF and ALG manifolds with model spaces $\mathbb R^{n-1}\times \mathbb S^1$ and $\mathbb R^{n-2}\times \mathbb T^2$ respectively in dimensions no greater than $7$ (Theorem \ref{ALFPMT0}). { Different from the compatibility condition for spin structure in \cite[Theorem 2]{minerbe2008a}, we show that some type of incompressible condition for $\mathbb S^1$ and $\mathbb T^2$ is enough to guarantee the nonnegativity of the mass.} As in the asymptotically flat case, we reduce the desired positive mass theorems to those ones concerning non-existence of positive scalar curvature metrics on closed manifolds coming from generalize surgery to $n$-torus. { Finally, we investigate certain fill-in problems and obtain an optimal bound for total mean curvature of admissible fill-ins for flat product $2$-torus $\mathbb S^1(l_1)\times \mathbb S^1(l_2)$.}
