Bray and Khuri's generalized Penrose inequality
Bray and Khuri's generalized Penrose inequality
Let be an asymptotically Euclidean initial data set that is Schwarzschild at infinity, with total mass in a chosen end, and satisfying the dominant energy condition . Let be a closed surface bounding an open set containing all asymptotically Euclidean ends except the chosen one. Assume that is a generalized trapped surface with respect to the normal pointing towards the chosen end. Let be the minimal-area enclosure of , meaning that and has least area among all surfaces with this property. Bray and Khuri's conjecture. One should have
Equality occurs if and only if is the induced data of an embedding of into the Kruskal spacetime such that is mapped to a generalized apparent horizon. This is a proposed version of the Penrose inequality for general initial data; its status is not established in the supplied text.
