Abstract

We study isoperimetric surfaces in the Reissner-Nordstr\"om spacetime, with emphasis on the cuasilocal inequality between area and charge. We analyze the stability of the isoperimetric spheres and we found that there is a lower bound on the area in terms of the charge, and that the inequality is saturated in the transition from the superextremal to the subextremal case. We also derive a general inequality between area and charge for stable isoperimetric surfaces in maximal electro-vacuum initial data.
