Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present a version of the generalized Pohozaev-Schoen identity in the context of asymptotically Euclidean manifolds. Since these kind of geometric identities have proven to be a very powerful tool when analysing different geometric problems for compact manifolds, we will present a variety of applications within this new context. Among these applications, we will show some rigidity results for asymptotically Euclidean Ricci-solitons and Codazzi-solitons. Also, we will present an almost-Schur type inequality valid in this non-compact setting which does not need restrictions on the Ricci curvature. Finally, we will show how some rigidity results related with static potentials also follow from these type of conservation principles.
