Abstract

We consider charged spherically symmetric static solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell equations with a positive cosmological constant Λ\Lambda. If rr denotes the area radius, mgm_g and qq the gravitational mass and charge of a sphere with area radius rr respectively, we find that for any solution which satisfies the condition p+2pρ,p+2p_{\perp}\leq \rho, where p0p\geq 0 and pp_{\perp} are the radial and tangential pressures respectively, ρ0\rho\geq 0 is the energy density, and for which 0q2r2+Λr21,0\leq \frac{q^2}{r^2}+\Lambda r^2\leq 1, the inequality mgr2/9+q23r2Λr23+2/91+3q2r2+3Λr2\frac{m_g}{r} \leq 2/9+\frac{q^2}{3r^2}-\frac{\Lambda r^2}{3}+2/9\sqrt{1+\frac{3q^2}{r^2}+3\Lambda r^2} holds. We also investigate the issue of sharpness, and we show that the inequality is sharp in a few cases but generally this question is open.
