Abstract

In this paper we show the existence of a large class of spherically symmetric data dd (on a spacelike hypersurface SS), from which a perfect fluid spacetime (surrounded by vacuum) develops. This spacetime contains an event horizon (with trapped surfaces behind it). The data dd are regular and {\it innociuous}, i.e. the data--surface SS does not contain any point of the horizon or of the trapped surface area. We give auxiliary data on an auxiliary hypersurface HH and also on the star boundary; then we solve Einstein's equations for perfect fluid in the future and past of HH. Our solution induces the above mentioned data dd on some chosen spacelike hypersurface SS in the past of HH. By construction HH turns out to be the matter part of the horizon, once we attach a vacuum to our matter spacetime. Obviously, from these data dd on SS it develops (into the future) the event horizon HH. We solve the constraint equations for the auxiliary data posed on the null--surface HH. This reduces the choice of these data to the choice of the density ρ\rho and R:=[curvature]1/2R:=[\text{curvature}]^{-1/2}. Our data fulfil positivity of ρ\rho, 2m/R=12m/R=1 (at the star boundary) and other properties. This is archieved by an algorithm, which for given ρ\rho yields RR (from an input parameter function hC1([0,1],]0,[)h \in C^1( \left[0,1\right],\left]0,-\infty \right[)).
