The Gibbons--Penrose inequality in Minkowski spacetime
Abstract
We prove the Gibbons--Penrose inequality for smooth closed spacelike codimension-two submanifolds of Minkowski spacetime whose past null second fundamental form is non-negative. The proof is motivated by the Alexandrov--Bakelman--Pucci technique.
