Positive mass theorems for asymptotically AdS spacetimes with arbitrary cosmological constant
We formulate and prove the Lorentzian version of the positive mass theorems
with arbitrary negative cosmological constant for asymptotically AdS
spacetimes. This work is the continuation of the second author's recent work on
the positive mass theorem on asymptotically hyperbolic 3-manifolds.Comment: 17 pages, final version, to appear in International Journal of

Resonance-state-induced superconductivity at high Indium contents in In-doped SnTe
We report a reinvestigation of superconducting SnInTe at both
low and high In doping levels. Analysis of the superconductivity reveals a
fundamental change as a function of \textit{x}: the system evolves from a
weakly coupled to a strongly coupled superconductor with increasing indium
content. Hall Effect measurements further show that the carrier density does
not vary linearly with Indium content; indeed at high Indium content, the
samples are overall \textit{n}-type, which is contrary to expectations of the
standard picture of In replacing Sn in this material. Density
functional theory calculations probing the electronic state of In in SnTe show
that it does not act as a trivial hole dopant, but instead forms a distinct,
partly filled In 5\textit{s} - Te 5\textit{p} hybridized state centered around
E, very different from what is seen for other nominal hole dopants such as
Na, Ag, and vacant Sn sites. We conclude that superconducting In-doped SnTe
therefore cannot be considered as a simple hole doped semiconductor.Comment: 12 pages and 7 figure
