abstract
We describe how the Schoen-Yau proof of the positive mass theorem can be extended to arbitrary dimensions. To overcome the problem of singularities, we propose a new inductive scheme. To carry out the inductive step, we use a combination of several techniques, including the shielding principle of Lesourd-Unger-Yau, as well as a conformal blow-up argument in the spirit of Bi-Hao-He-Shi-Zhu. Our arguments also rely on the Cheeger-Naber bound for the Minkowski dimension of the singular set.

Introduces a boundary analogue of the Gauss-Bonnet-Chern mass for asymptotically flat half-manifolds, proves it is well-defined, establishes positive mass theorems for graphical and conformally flat graphs, and provides a Penrose-type inequality.
Asymptotically flat L^∞ ∩ W^{1,n} manifolds with non-negative distributional scalar curvature satisfy the positive mass theorem, with zero mass implying global isometry to Euclidean space via an integral distance.
Overtorical manifolds and sufficiently regular enlargeable AM–PI spaces admit no positive (weighted) scalar curvature, proved by singular dimension descent with conformal blow-ups.
The Riemannian Penrose inequality is proven in arbitrary dimensions for smooth complete asymptotically flat manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature and compact outer-minimizing minimal boundary allowing singular sets of Hausdorff dimension at most n-8, with equality only for Riemannian Schwarzs
ADM mass is nonnegative (and zero only for Euclidean space under a slightly stronger dimension bound) for complete AF L∞ metrics with nonnegative scalar curvature outside a singular set of Minkowski dimension < n−3+2/n.
The positive mass theorem holds for complete asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds satisfying the dominant energy condition, including those with arbitrary ends.

The spacetime positive energy theorem in dimensions n ≥ 4 is obtained by reducing it to the Riemannian positive mass theorem using the Jang equation with a capillary term.
Defines a mass-type invariant for asymptotically Schwarzschild smooth metric measure spaces modeled on the Euclidean half-space and relates it to the fractional Yamabe problem.
