Curvature estimates for stable marginally trapped surfaces

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2007-05-23 v2 Differential Geometry

Abstract

We derive integral and sup-estimates for the curvature of stably marginally outer trapped surfaces in a sliced space-time. The estimates bound the shear of a marginally outer trapped surface in terms of the intrinsic and extrinsic curvature of a slice containing the surface. These estimates are well adapted to situations of physical insterest, such as dynamical horizons.

28 pages. This is a major rework of the previous version. It extends the curvature estimates to no longer require global area bounds. In addition some mistakes were corrected
