An introduction to the Riemannian Penrose inequality

Prof. Levi Lopes de Lima (Universidade Federal do Ceará)

Resumo: We present a survey of recent results on the Riemannian version of the Penrose inequality in General Relativity, which relates the mass of asymptotically flat (or hyperbolic) initial data sets to the total area of the black hole horizon. We shall focus on results which can be obtained by elementary methods, notably the graph and conformally flat cases.
