Abstract

We present a generalization of the Brill-type proof of positivity of mass for axisymmetric initial data to initial data sets with black hole boundaries. The argument leads to a strictly positive lower bound for the mass of simply connected and connected axisymmetric black hole data sets in terms of the mass of a reference Schwarzschild metric.
