On the stability of black hole event horizons
نویسنده
چکیده
In this work we study a gedanken experiment constructed in order to test the cosmic censorship hypothesis and the second law of black hole thermodynamics. Matter with a negative gravitating energy is imagined added to a near extremal U(1)-charged static black hole in Einstein-Maxwell theory. The dynamics of a similar process is studied and the thermo-dynamical properties of the resulting black hole structure is discussed. A new mechanism which stabilizes black hole event horizons is shown to operate in such processes. PACS numbers: 04.20.Cv , 04.60.+n Typeset using REVTEX ∗Electronic address: [email protected] 1

Black holes without boundaries
We discuss some of the drawbacks of using event horizons to define black holes and suggest ways in which black holes can be described without event horizons, using trapping horizons. We show that these trapping horizons give rise to thermodynamic behavior and possibly Hawking radiation too. This raises the issue of whether the event horizon or the trapping horizon should be seen as the true bou...
متن کاملRevisiting Event Horizon Finders
Event horizons are the defining physical features of black hole spacetimes, and are of considerable interest in studying black hole dynamics. Here, we reconsider three techniques to localise event horizons in numerical spacetimes: integrating geodesics, integrating a surface, and integrating a levelset of surfaces over a volume. We implement the first two techniques and find that straightforwar...
متن کاملBlack holes as local horizons
This talk gives a brief introduction to black hole horizons and their role in black hole thermodynamics. In particular a distinction is made between quasilocally defined horizons and event horizons. Currently some new techniques have led to interesting developments and the field seems to be growing in two distinct directions. We will show how thermodynamics can equally well be applied to locall...
متن کاملStability analysis of sonic horizons in Bose-Einstein condensates
We examine the linear stability of various configurations in Bose-Einstein condensates with sonic horizons. These configurations are chosen in analogy with gravitational systems with a black hole horizon, a white hole horizon and a combination of both. We discuss the role of different boundary conditions in this stability analysis, paying special attention to their meaning in gravitational term...
متن کاملHalf period theorem of binary black holes
Merging event horizons of the binary black holes will be investigated. Though recent development of the numerical study of the binary black hole coalescence has shown that their apparent horizons can orbit for many periods in the case of appropriate initial conditions, the apparent horizons only suggests the existence of an event horizon surrounding them. In the present article, we discuss how ...
