In the first part, by using the Gauss-Bonnet curvature, which is a natural generalization of the scalar curvature, we introduce a higher order mass, the Gauss-Bonnet-Chern mass $m^{\\H}_k$, for asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds and show that it is a geometric invariant. Moreover, we prove a positive mass theorem for this new mass for asymptotically hyperbolic graphs and establish a relationship between the corresponding Penrose type inequality for this mass and weighted Alexandrov-Fenchel inequalities in the hyperbolic space $\\H^n$. In the second part, we establish these weighted Alexandrov-Fenchel inequalities in $\\H^n$ for any horospherical convex hypersurface $\\Sigma$. As an application, we obtain an optimal Penrose type inequality for the new mass defined in the first part for asymptotically hyperbolic graphs with a horizon type boundary $\\Sigma$, provided that a dominant energy condition $\\tilde L_k\\ge0$ holds. Both inequalities are optimal.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-06-18T15:09:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds", "gbc mass", "weighted alexandrov-fenchel inequalities", "asymptotically hyperbolic graphs", "first part" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 41, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1238938, "adsabs": "2013arXiv1306.4233G" } } }
