Black-hole boundaries

Abstract: Classical black holes and event horizons are highly non-local objects, defined in relation to the causal past of future null infinity. Alternative, quasilocal characterizations of black holes are often used in mathematical, quantum, and numerical relativity. These include apparent, killing, trapping, isolated, dynamical, and slowly evolving horizons. All of these are closely associated with two-surfaces of zero outward null expansion. This paper reviews the traditional definition of black holes and provides an… Show more

“…Note that the corrected boundary condition in equation (A.26) leads to a monotonic apparent horizon area, as opposed to the nonmonotonic behaviour in the published version of figures 1 and 2 (see the appendix for the new versions). In fact, it can be shown from constraint equation (3.18) evaluated at the horizon ρ = 1 α , that the change in the apparent horizon area is given byimplying that the area of the apparent horizon monotonically increases with time, in agreement with the area theorems of [2] (see also [3]). 1…”

“…Here δ n refers to a deformation generated by n [5] and so the condition says that each MTS can be deformed into a surface with θ (ℓ) < 0 by an arbitrarily small evolution "inwards". For a sufficiently small deformation θ (n) must also remain negative, and so this condition says that there are fully trapped surfaces "just inside" the MTT and untrapped ones outside.…”

“…Thus, due to their teleological definition, event horizons will grow in anticipation of future interactions even when there is no proximate cause for such an expansion. In particular, lack of growth cannot be used to characterize (temporary) equilibrium states (see [5] for a further discussion of these points).…”
