Quasi-Local Penrose Inequalities with Electric Charge

The Riemannian Penrose inequality is a remarkable geometric inequality between the ADM mass of an asymptotically flat manifold with nonnegative scalar curvature and the area of its outermost minimal surface. A version of the Riemannian Penrose inequality has also been established for the Einstein–Maxwell equations where the lower bound on mass depends also on electric charge, a charged Riemannian Penrose inequality. Here, we establish some quasi-local charged Penrose inequalities for surfaces isometric to closed surfaces in a suitable Reissner–Nordström manifold, which serves as a reference manifold for the quasi-local mass. In the case where the reference manifold has zero mass and nonzero electric charge, the lower bound on quasi-local mass is exactly the lower bound on the ADM mass given by the charged Penrose inequality.
