Rigidity of Stationary Black Holes with Small Angular Momentum on the Horizon
نویسنده
چکیده
We prove a black hole rigidity result for slowly rotating stationary solutions of the Einstein vacuum equations. More precisely, we prove that the domain of outer communications of a regular stationary vacuum is isometric to the domain of outer communications of a Kerr solution, provided that the stationary Killing vector-field T is small (depending only on suitable regularity properties of the black hole) on the bifurcation sphere. No other global restrictions are necessary. The proof brings together ideas from our previous work [1] with ideas from the classical work of Sudarsky and Wald [17] on the staticity of stationary black hole solutions with zero angular momentum on the horizon. It is thus the first uniqueness result, in the framework of smooth, asymptotically flat, stationary solutions, which combines local considerations near the horizon, via Carleman estimates, with information obtained by global elliptic estimates.

Non-uniqueness, Counterrotation, and Negative Horizon Mass of Einstein-Maxwell-Chern-Simons Black Holes
Stationary black holes in 5-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory possess surprising properties. When considering the Chern-Simons coefficient λ as a parameter, two critical values of λ appear: the supergravity value λSG = 1, and the value λ = 2. At λ = 1, supersymmetric black holes with vanishing horizon angular velocity, but finite angular momentum exist. As λ increases beyond λSG ...
متن کاملA universal inequality between angular momentum and horizon area for axisymmetric and stationary black holes with surrounding matter
We prove that for sub-extremal axisymmetric and stationary black holes with arbitrary surrounding matter the inequality 8π|J | < A holds, where J is the angular momentum and A the horizon area of the black hole. PACS numbers: 04.70.Bw, 04.40.-b, 04.20.Cv preprint number: AEI-2008-034
متن کاملThe inner Cauchy horizon of axisymmetric and stationary black holes with surrounding matter
We investigate the interior of regular axisymmetric and stationary black holes surrounded by matter and find that for non-vanishing angular momentum of the black hole the spacetime can always be extended regularly up to and including an inner Cauchy horizon. We provide an explicit relation for the regular metric at the inner Cauchy horizon in terms of that at the event horizon. As a consequence...
متن کاملThe runaway instability of thick discs around black holes . II . Non constant angular momentum discs
We present results from a comprehensive number of relativistic, time-dependent, axisymmetric simulations of the runaway instability of non-constant angular momentum thick discs around black holes. This second paper in the series extends earlier results where only constant angular momentum discs were considered. All relevant aspects of the theory of stationary thick discs around rotating black h...
متن کاملThe inner Cauchy horizon of axisymmetric and stationary black holes with surrounding matter in Einstein-Maxwell theory
We study the interior electrovacuum region of axisymmetric and stationary black holes with surrounding matter and find that there exists always a regular inner Cauchy horizon inside the black hole, provided the angular momentum J and charge Q of the black hole do not vanish simultaneously. In particular, we derive an explicit relation for the metric on the Cauchy horizon in terms of that on the...
