The Plateau problem for marginally outer trapped surfaces

Abstract: We solve the Plateau problem for marginally outer trapped surfaces in general Cauchy data sets. We employ the Perron method and tools from geometric measure theory to force and control a blow-up of Jang's equation. Substantial new geometric insights regarding the lower order properties of marginally outer trapped surfaces are gained in the process. The techniques developed in this paper are flexible and can be adapted to other non-variational existence problems.

“…Furthermore, the works of Andersson, Eichmair, and Metzger [2,10,1] imply that with out loss of generality, the above conjecture may be reduced to a simpler case. Define an outermost time-independent apparent horizon to be a time-independent apparent horizon which is not enclosed by any other.…”

“…Define an outermost time-independent apparent horizon to be a time-independent apparent horizon which is not enclosed by any other. The works of Andersson, Eichmair, and Metzger [2,10,1] imply that given any time-independent outer trapped surface, there always exists an outermost time-independent apparent horizon which encloses it (though not necessarily uniquely).…”

“…Inequality (2.27) is a Penrose-like inequality for the Liu-Yau energy, whereas (2.28) is akin to a localized version of the ADM mass-angular momentum-charge inequality which has so far only been established in the maximal case [16,18,39,55]. Furthermore, inequality (2.28) holds without the assumption of axisymmetry if the angular momentum contribution from the right-hand side is dropped, while the stability hypothesis can be removed if Σ h has only one component [2,22]. The constant γ is invariant under rescalings of the metric and hence independent of |Σ h |.…”

“…More generally, Schoen and Yau's analysis shows that any solution arising from a limit of suitably regularized boundary-value problems can only blow up on an apparent horizon (see Section 3.5 of [6]). This was used in [7] and [8] to prove the existence of apparent horizons in the presence of suitable geometric barriers. (A simple example is when there exists a bounded set Ω ⊂ M with at least two boundary components and H ∂Ω − |tr ∂Ω h| > 0.…”
