The positive mass theorem for multiple rotating charged black holes. (English) Zbl 1339.83029

Summary: In this paper a lower bound for the ADM mass is given in terms of the angular momenta and charges of black holes present in axisymmetric initial data sets for the Einstein-Maxwell equations. This generalizes the mass-angular momentum-charge inequality obtained by P. T. Chruściel and J. L. Costa [Classical Quantum Gravity 26, No. 23, Article ID 235013, 7 p. (2009; Zbl 1181.83015)] to the case of multiple black holes. We also weaken the hypotheses used in the proof of this result for single black holes, and establish the associated rigidity statement.
