On the ADM mass of critical area-normalized capacitors

Abstract

In this note, we prove mass-capacity inequalities for asymptotically flat manifolds whose boundary capacity potential satisfies an overdetermined problem, referred to as critical area-normalized capacitors. As a consequence, we obtain uniqueness results for the Schwarzschild metric, from which improvements in the uniqueness theorems for spin asymptotically flat spacetimes containing a connected photon surface, as well as for spin asymptotically flat static manifolds with boundary are obtained.
