Intrinsic flat convergence of points and applications to stability of the positive mass theorem

Abstract: We prove results on intrinsic flat convergence of points---a concept first explored by Sormani in \cite{Sormani-AA}. In particular, we discuss compatibility with Gromov-Hausdorff convergence of points---a concept first described by Gromov in \cite{Gromov-poly}. We apply these results to the problem of stability of the positive mass theorem in mathematical relativity. Specifically, we revisit the article \cite{HLS} on intrinsic flat stability for the case of graphical hypersurfaces of Euclidean space: We are able to fill in some details in the proofs of Theorems 1.4 and Lemma~5.1 of \cite{HLS} and strengthen some statements. Moreover, in light of an acknowledged error in the proof of Theorem~1.3 of \cite{HLS}, we provide an alternative proof that extends recent work of \cite{AP20}.
