Title: Recent advances in scalar curvature and positive mass theorems
Abstract:  First, we have a review of classical tools for studying scalar curvature and positive mass theorem. Then we are going to discuss some advances and new perspectives on these tools which lead to a deeper understanding of geometry and initial data sets.
