<p>Could you suggest a good survey paper on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_mass_theorem" rel="nofollow">positive mass theorem</a>?</p>

<p>There's also a set of lecture notes by Rick Schoen for his 2009 course in Stanford on General Relativity, which has a nice discussion of the fundamental ideas involved in the proof of the PMT. I don't know if it is publich available on the internet though...</p>

Bray's articles "Black Holes, Geometric Flows, and the Penrose Inequality in General Relativity" (Notices AMS, 2002) contains a very short, but elegant, survey of the positive mass theorem. He also has a <a href="http://arxiv.org/pdf/1101.2230" rel="nofollow">longer survey</a> that goes into several simpler cases.</p>
