Abstract

In this paper, we prove the following theorem regarding the Wang-Yau quasi-local energy of a spacelike two-surface in a spacetime: Let Sigma be a boundary component of some compact, time-symmetric, spacelike hypersurface Omega in a time-oriented spacetime N satisfying the dominant energy condition. Suppose the induced metric on Sigma has positive Gaussian curvature and all boundary components of Omega have positive mean curvature. Suppose H
