Tóm tắt

We solve Einstein vacuum equations in a spacetime region up to the “center” of gravitational collapse. Within this region, we construct a sequence of marginally outer trapped surfaces (MOTS) with areas going to zero. These MOTS form a marginally outer trapped tube (apparent horizon). It emerges from a point and is smooth (except at that point). In the proof we employ a scale critical trapped surface formation criterion established by An and Luk and a new type of quasilinear elliptic equation is studied. One of the main conclusions in this paper proves a conjecture of Ashtekar on black hole thermodynamics. And the spacetimes constructed here could also be viewed as (non-spherically symmetric) generalizations of the well-known Vaidya spacetime.
