We discuss black hole spacetimes with a geometrically defined quasi-local horizon on which the curvature tensor is algebraically special relative to the alignment classification. Based on many examples and analytical results, we conjecture…
We show that it is possible to locate the event horizons of a black hole (in arbitrary dimensions) as the zeros of certain Cartan invariants. This approach accounts for the recent results on the detection of stationary horizons using scalar…
