In this paper, we prove the following theorem regarding the Wang–Yau quasi-local energy of a spacelike two-surface in a spacetime: Let Σ be a boundary component of some compact, time-symmetric, spacelike hypersurface Ω in a time-oriented spacetimeNsatisfying the dominant energy condition. Suppose the induced metric on Σ has positive Gaussian curvature and all boundary components of Ω have positive mean curvature. SupposeH≤H0whereHis the mean curvature of Σ in Ω andH0is the mean curvature of Σ when isometrically embedded in. If Ω is not isometric to a domain in, then1.the Brown–York mass of Σ in Ω is a strict local minimum of the Wang–Yau quasi-local energy of Σ.2.on a small perturbationof Σ inN, there exists a critical point of the Wang–Yau quasi-local energy of.
