Existence of Outermost Apparent Horizons with Product of Spheres Topology
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we find new examples of Riemannian manifolds with nonspherical apparent horizon, in dimensions four and above. More precisely, for any n, m ≥ 1, we construct asymptotically flat, scalar flat Riemannian manifolds containing smooth outermost minimal hypersurfaces with topology Sn × S. In the context of general relativity these hypersurfaces correspond to outermost apparent horizons of black holes.

The area of horizons and the trapped region
This paper considers some fundamental questions concerning marginally trapped surfaces, or apparent horizons, in Cauchy data sets for the Einstein equation. An area estimate for outermost marginally trapped surfaces is proved. The proof makes use of an existence result for marginal surfaces, in the presence of barriers, curvature estimates, together with a novel surgery construction for margina...

متن کاملRigidity of outer horizons and the topology of black holes
In a recent paper [13] the author and Rick Schoen obtained a generalization to higher dimensions of a classical result of Hawking concerning the topology of black holes. It was proved that, apart from certain exceptional circumstances, cross sections of the event horizon (in the stationary case) and outer apparent horizons (in the general case) in black hole spacetimes obeying the dominant ener...
متن کاملDetection of a nontrivial element in the stable homotopy groups of spheres
Let $p$ be a prime with $pgeq 7$ and $q=2(p-1)$. In this paper we prove the existence of a nontrivial product of filtration $s+4$ in the stable homotopy groups of spheres. This nontrivial product is shown to be represented up to a nonzero scalar by the product element $widetilde{gamma}_{s}b_{n-1}g_{0}in {Ext}_{mathcal{A}}^{s+4,(p^n+sp^2+sp+s)q+s-3}(mathbb{Z}/p,mathbb{Z}/p)$ in ...
متن کاملA generalization of Hawking’s black hole topology theorem to higher dimensions
Hawking’s theorem on the topology of black holes asserts that cross sections of the event horizon in 4-dimensional asymptotically flat stationary black hole spacetimes obeying the dominant energy condition are topologically 2spheres. This conclusion extends to outer apparent horizons in spacetimes that are not necessarily stationary. In this paper we obtain a natural generalization of Hawking’s...
