Abstract

We extend the Jang equation proof of the positive energy theorem due to Schoen and Yau (Commun Math Phys 79(2):231–260, 1981) from dimension n = 3 to dimensions 3 ≤ n < 8. This requires us to address several technical difficulties that are not present when n = 3. The regularity and decay assumptions for the initial data sets to which our argument applies are weaker than those in Schoen and Yau (Commun Math Phys 79(2):231–260, 1981).
