A recent precise formulation of the hoop conjecture in four spacetime dimensions is that the Birkhoff invariant $\beta$ (the least maximal length of any sweepout or foliation by circles) of an apparent horizon of energy $E$ and area $A$…
I propose a sharp form of Thorne's hoop conjecture which relates Birkhoff's invariant $\beta$ for an outermost apparent horizon to its $ADM$ mass, $ \beta \le 4 \pi M_{ADM}$. I prove the conjecture in the case of collapsing null shells and…
We numerically investigated the sequences of initial data of thin spindle and thin ring in five-dimensional space-time in the context of the cosmic censorship conjecture. We modeled the matter in non-rotating homogeneous spheroidal or…
We investigate the validity of the hyperhoop conjecture, which claims to determine a necessary and sufficient condition for the formation of black hole horizons in higher-dimensional space-times. Here we consider momentarily static,…
We propose a unified version of hoop conjecture valid for various black holes and horizonless compact stars. This conjecture is expressed by the mass to circumference ratio $4\pi M_{in}/C\leqslant 1$, where C is the circumference of the…
The hoop conjecture, introduced by Thorne almost five decades ago, asserts that black holes are characterized by the mass-to-circumference relation $4\pi {\cal M}/{\cal C}\geq1$, whereas horizonless compact objects are characterized by the…
A brief, and certainly not exhaustive, survey is provided of some recent results and conjectures in four and higher spacetime dimensions, such as the Hoop Conjecture, relating the geometry of event horizons to dynamical quantities such as…
We study the condition of black hole formation in five-dimensional space-time. We analytically solve the constraint equations of five-dimensional Einstein equations for momentarily static and conformally flat initial data of a spheroidal…
The hoop conjecture is well confirmed in momentarily static spaces, but it has not been investigated systematically for the system with relativistic motion. To confirm the hoop conjecture for non-time-symmetric initial data, we consider the…
The initial data sets for the five-dimensional Einstein equation have been examined. The system is designed such that the black hole ($\simeq S^3$) or the black ring ($\simeq S^2\times S^1$) can be found. We have found that the typical…
A reformulation of the Hoop Conjecture based on the concept of trapped circle is presented. The problems of severe compactness in every spatial direction, and of how to superpose the hoops with the surface of the black hole, are resolved. A…
We investigate the validity of Thorne's hoop conjecture in non-axisymmetric spacetimes by examining the formation of apparent horizons numerically. If spaces have a discrete symmetry about one axis, we can specify the boundary conditions to…
It is conjectured that stationary black holes are characterized by the inverse hoop relation ${\cal A}\leq {\cal C}^2/\pi$, where ${\cal A}$ and ${\cal C}$ are respectively the black-hole surface area and the circumference length of the…
We propose a definition of volume for stationary spacetimes. The proposed volume is independent of the choice of stationary time-slicing, and applies even though the Killing vector may not be globally timelike. Moreover, it is constant in…
The initial data of gravity for a cylindrical matter distribution confined to a brane are studied in the framework of the single-brane Randall-Sundrum scenario. In this scenario, the 5-dimensional nature of gravity appears in the…
By a simple modification of Hawking's well-known topology theorems for black hole horizons, we find lower bounds for the areas of smooth apparent horizons and smooth cross-sections of stationary black hole event horizons of genus $g>1$ in…
Hawking's theorem on the topology of black holes asserts that cross sections of the event horizon in 4-dimensional asymptotically flat stationary black hole spacetimes obeying the dominant energy condition are topologically 2-spheres. This…
Assuming the hoop conjecture in classical general relativity and quantum mechanics, any observer who attempts to perform an experiment in an arbitrarily small region will be stymied by the formation of a black hole within the spatial domain…
Balloons are two-dimensional spheres. Hoops are one dimensional loops. Knotted Balloons and Hoops (KBH) in 4-space behave much like the first and second homotopy groups of a topological space - hoops can be composed as in \pi_1, balloons as…
We present a quantum theory of black hole (and other) horizons, in which the standard assumptions of complementarity are preserved without contradicting information theoretic considerations. After the scrambling time, the quantum mechanical…
