Null hypersurfaces and trapping horizons
Abstract
The purpose of the present work is to study (marginally) trapped submanifolds lying in a null hypersurface. Let be a null hypersurface of a space-time with constant sectional curvature , endowed with a Screen Integrable and Conformal rigging . The (Marginally) Trapped Submanifolds we are interested with are particular leaves of the screen distribution according to the sign of their expansions. We prove that if is non-positive, then cannot contain a null non-expanding horizon. In the case is positive, we show that if satisfies Einstein's equation and dominant energy condition holds, then any null trapping horizon of is a null non-expanding horizon. More generally we prove that in a spacetime with constant sectional curvature , cross-sections of a marginally outer trapped tube are Riemann manifold with the same constant sectional curvature .
