Positive Energy-Momentum Theorem for AdS-Asymptotically Hyperbolic Manifolds

The aim of this paper is to prove a positive energy-momentum theorem under the (well known in general relativity) dominant energy condition, for AdS-asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds. These manifolds are by definition endowed with a Riemannian metric and a symmetric 2-tensor which respectively tend to the metric and second fundamental form of a standard hyperbolic slice in Anti-de Sitter space-time. There exists a positive mass theorem for asymptotically hyperbolic spin Riemannian manifolds (with zero extrinsic curvature), and we present an extension of this result for the non zero extrinsic curvature case.
