We establish mass lower bounds of Penrose-type in the setting of $3$-dimensional initial data sets for the Einstein equations satisfying the dominant energy condition, which are either asymptotically flat or asymptotically hyperboloidal. More precisely, the lower bound consists of a universal constant multiplied by the square root of the minimal area required to enclose the outermost apparent horizon. Here the outermost apparent horizon may contain both marginally outer trapped (MOTS) and marginally inner trapped (MITS) components. The proof is based on the harmonic level set approach to the positive mass theorem, combined with the Jang equation and techniques arising from the stability argument of Dong-Song \cite{Dong-Song}. As a corollary, we also obtain a version of the Penrose inequality for 3-dimensional asymptotically hyperbolic Riemannian manifolds.

  1. The spacetime Penrose inequality under a quasi final state hypothesis

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    The spacetime Penrose inequality holds under the quasi final state hypothesis via tangentially maximal hypersurfaces that reduce the problem to the known Riemannian Penrose inequality.

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Defines a Bartnik-type quasilocal mass and proves its strict positivity for hypersurfaces with apparent horizons and its temporal monotonicity in black hole evolutions.
