Title: New Energy Inequality in AdS

Abstract: I will describe evidence for a new energy inequality in asymptotically AdS spacetimes whose conformal boundary contains a spatial circle. It is in some sense analogous but crucially different to the Penrose inequality. In the AdS4 case, this generalizes the Horowitz-Myers conjecture. I will show how static solutions play an interesting role in determining the shape of the function that bounds the gravitational energy.
