In this paper, we obtain some rigidity theorems on compact manifolds with nonempty boundary. The results may be related to the positivity of some quasi-local mass of Brown–York type. The main argument is to use monotonicity of quantities similar to the Brown–York quasi-local mass in a foliation of quasi-spherical metrics. Together with a hyperbolic version of positivity of a mass quantity, we obtain our main results.
