We show that the area-angular momentum inequality A\geq 8\pi|J| holds for axially symmetric closed outermost stably marginally trapped surfaces. These are horizon sections (in particular, apparent horizons) contained in otherwise generic…
We prove the local inequality $A \geq 8\pi|J|$, where $A$ and $J$ are the area and angular momentum of any axially symmetric closed stable minimal surface in an axially symmetric maximal initial data. From this theorem it is proved that the…
We consider $n$-dimensional spacetimes which are axisymmetric--but not necessarily stationary (!)--in the sense of having isometry group $U(1)^{n-3}$, and which satisfy the Einstein equations with a non-negative cosmological constant. We…
We show that the area-angular momentum-charge inequality (A/(4\pi))^2 \geq (2J)^2 + (Q_E^2 + Q_M^2)^2 holds for apparent horizons of electrically and magnetically charged rotating black holes in generic dynamical and non-vacuum spacetimes.…
We prove that for sub-extremal axisymmetric and stationary black holes with arbitrary surrounding matter the inequality $8\pi|J|<A$ holds, where $J$ is the angular momentum and $A$ the horizon area of the black hole.
We establish the conjectured area-angular momentum-charge inequality for stable apparent horizons in the presence of a positive cosmological constant, and show that it is saturated precisely for extreme Kerr-Newman-de Sitter horizons. As…
The inequality $\sqrt{J}\leq m$ is proved for vacuum, asymptotically flat, maximal and axisymmetric data close to extreme Kerr data. The physical significance of this inequality and its relation to the standard picture of the gravitational…
In this essay I first discuss the physical relevance of the inequality $m\geq \sqrt{|J|}$ for axially symmetric (non-stationary) black holes, where m is the mass and J the angular momentum of the spacetime. Then, I present a proof of this…
The most general formulation of Penrose's inequality yields a lower bound for ADM mass in terms of the area, charge, and angular momentum of black holes. This inequality is in turn equivalent to an upper and lower bound for the area in…
We prove that for any vacuum, maximal, asymptotically flat, axisymmetric initial data for Einstein equations close to extreme Kerr data, the inequality $\sqrt{J} \leq m$ is satisfied, where $m$ and $J$ are the total mass and angular…
We prove an inequality between horizon area and angular momentum for a class of axially symmetric black holes. This class includes initial conditions with an isometry which leaves fixed a two-surface. These initial conditions have been…
The inequality $m^3\geq \frac{27\pi}{4} |\mathcal{J}_{2}||\mathcal{J}_{1}-\mathcal{J}_{2}|$ relating total mass and angular momenta, is established for (possibly dynamical) spacetimes admitting black holes of ring ($S^1\times S^2$)…
We prove the Penrose inequality with angular momentum for asymptotically flat, axisymmetric vacuum initial data sets containing a stable marginally outer trapped surface. This inequality provides a lower bound for the ADM mass in terms of…
We sharpen the known inequalities $A \Lambda \le 4\pi (1-g)$ and $A\ge 4\pi Q^2$ between the area $A$ and the electric charge $Q$ of a stable marginally outer trapped surface (MOTS) of genus g in the presence of a cosmological constant…
This is the second in a series of two papers to establish the conjectured mass-angular momentum inequality for multiple black holes, modulo the extreme black hole 'no hair theorem'. More precisely it is shown that either there is a…
Bounds for the area of general closed marginally trapped surfaces (MTSs) are presented. They do not require any stability condition, and are determined by a constant that depends on a particular component of the Einstein tensor on the…
We present a rigorous proof of the Spacetime Penrose Inequality relating the ADM mass to the area of trapped surfaces in asymptotically flat initial data sets satisfying the dominant energy condition. The main theorem establishes that the…
We prove that extreme Kerr initial data set is a unique absolute minimum of the total mass in a (physically relevant) class of vacuum, maximal, asymptotically flat, axisymmetric data for Einstein equations with fixed angular momentum. These…
In this article, we investigate the index of the MOTS given by a spatial cross section of the cosmological horizon in the Kerr-Newman-de Sitter spacetime. We show that its index is at least one in the symmetrized sense for a small positive…
In these notes we describe recent results concerning the inequality $m\geq \sqrt{|J|}$ for axially symmetric black holes.
