A toy Penrose inequality and its proof

Abstract: We formulate and prove a toy version of the Penrose inequality. The formulation mimics the original Penrose inequality in which the scenario is the following: a shell of null dust collapses in Minkowski space and a marginally trapped surface forms on it. Through a series of arguments relying on established assumptions, an inequality relating the area of this surface to the total energy of the shell is formulated. Then a further reformulation turns the inequality into a statement relating the area and the outer… Show more

“…Due to its simplicity, many toy models in (2 + 1)-dimensions are used to help us gain insights into the corresponding physics in higher dimensions. A recent example is a toy model of the Riemannian Penrose inequality, which has been proved in (2 + 1)-dimensions in AdS background [43] (there is still no general proof for the inequality in (3 + 1)-dimensions). BTZ black holes have also found some surprising applications, e.g., in modeling the physics of graphene [44,45], via the optical metric approach.…”

“…The first black hole solution is BTZ(Bañados, Teitelboim and Zanelli) solution [35,36], which is asymptotically anti-de Sitter(AdS) and has on curvature singularity. However, it is a genuine black hole solution due to the presence of event horizon, Hawking radiation, entropy, and playing a significant role to understand physical properties in higher dimensions by using many of toy models [37,38]. The black hole thermodynamics has raised some challenging questions: a statistical derivation of black hole entropy and an account of its microstates.…”
