چکیده
The quasi-local theory of black-holes uses isolated horizons, rather then entire space-times. Each isolated horizon is described by its geometry: the induced metric and parallel transport. The space of the geometries is infinite dimensional. On the other hand, the isolated horizons defined by the Kerr metric form a 2-dimensional subfamily. In this letter we derive geometric conditions on an isolated horizon that distinguish the geometries defined by the Kerr solution. 1 Isolated horizons. In the quasi-local description of black holes the role of an event horizon is played by so called isolated horizon[3, 1, 4], that is a null 3-surface

Geometric Characterizations of the Kerr Isolated Horizon
We formulate conditions on the geometry of a non-expanding horizon ∆ which are sufficient for the space-time metric to coincide on ∆ with the Kerr metric. We introduce an invariant which can be used as a measure of how different the geometry of a given non-expanding horizon is from the geometry of the Kerr horizon. Directly, our results concern the space-time metric at ∆ at the zeroth and the f...
متن کاملSpace-Times Admitting Isolated Horizons
We characterize a general solution to the vacuum Einstein equations which admits isolated horizons. We show it is a non-linear superposition – in precise sense – of the Schwarzschild metric with a certain free data set propagating tangentially to the horizon. This proves Ashtekar’s conjecture about the structure of spacetime near the isolated horizon. The same superposition method applied to th...
متن کاملExtremality conditions for isolated and dynamical horizons
A maximally rotating Kerr black hole is said to be extremal. In this paper we introduce the corresponding restrictions for isolated and dynamical horizons. These reduce to the standard notions for Kerr but in general do not require the horizon to be either stationary or rotationally symmetric. We consider physical implications and applications of these results. In particular we introduce a para...
متن کاملIntroduction to dynamical horizons in numerical relativity
This paper presents a quasi-local method of studying the physics of dynamical black holes in numerical simulations. This is done within the dynamical horizon framework, which extends the earlier work on isolated horizons to time-dependent situations. In particular: (i) We locate various kinds of marginal surfaces and study their time evolution. An important ingredient is the calculation of the ...

A general solution to the vacuum Einstein equations which admits the Ashtekar isolated horizon is characterized. It is a superposition – in an exactly defined sense – of the Schwarzschild metric with a certain free data propagating tangentially to the horizon. This proves Ashtekar’s conjecture about the structure of spacetime near the isolated horizon. The same superposition method applied to t...
