YITP-98-12, gr-qc/9904054 Apparent Horizon Formation and Hoop Conjecture in Non-axisymmetric Spaces

چکیده
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 determine an apparent horizon even in non-axisymmetric spaces. We implement, for the first time, the “hoop finder” in non-axisymmetric spaces with a discrete symmetry. We construct asymptotically flat vacuum solutions at a moment of time symmetry. Two cases are examined: black holes distributed on a ring, and black holes on a spherical surface. It turns out that calculating C is reduced to solving an ordinary differential equation. We find that even in non-axisymmetric spaces the existence or nonexistence of an apparent horizon is consistent with the inequality: C ∼ 4πM .

متن کامل9 M ar 2 00 9 Birkhoff ’ s invariant and Thorne ’ s Hoop
I propose a sharp form of Thorne's hoop conjecture which relates Birkhoff's invariant β for an outermost apparent horizon to its ADM mass, β ≤ 4πMADM. I prove the conjecture in the case of collapsing null shells and provide further evidence from exact rotating black hole solutions. Since β is bounded below by the length l of the shortest non-trivial geodesic lying in the apparent horizon, the c...

We study the head-on collision of fluid particles well within the kinetic energy dominated regime (γ = 8 to 12) by numerically solving the Einstein-hydrodynamic equations. We find that the threshold for black hole formation is lower (by a factor of a few) than simple hoop conjecture estimates, and, moreover, near this threshold two distinct apparent horizons first form postcollision and then me...
متن کاملCharged Null Fluid Collapse in Anti-de Sitter Spacetimes and Naked Singularities
We investigate the occurrence of naked singularities in the spherically symmetric, plane symmetric and cylindrically symmetric collapse of charged null fluid in an antide Sitter background. The naked singularities are found to be strong in Tipler’s sense and thus violate the cosmic censorship conjecture, but not hoop conjecture. PACS number(s): 04.20.Dw That the end state of gravitational colla...
متن کاملThermodynamic Behavior of Field Equations for f ( R ) Gravity
Recently it has shown that Einstein’s field equations can be rewritten into a form of the first law of thermodynamics both at event horizon of static spherically symmetric black holes and apparent horizon of Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) universe, which indicates intrinsic thermodynamic properties of spacetime horizon. In the present paper we deal with the socalled f(R) gravity, whose action...
