Spherical trapped-surface conjecture for charged gravitational collapse

From papers

Let Q+\mathcal{Q}^+ be the quotient of the maximal future development, J(I+)J^-(\mathcal{I}^+) the causal past of future null infinity, A\mathcal{A} the apparent horizon, and bΓb_{\Gamma} the relevant endpoint on the center. Spherical trapped-surface conjecture. Among admissible one-ended data, there exists a generic subclass such that, if

Q+J(I+),\mathcal{Q}^+\cap J^-(\mathcal{I}^+)\neq\emptyset,

then A\mathcal{A} has a limit point on bΓb_{\Gamma}; in that case,

SΓ1=CHΓ=SΓ2=.\mathcal{S}_{\Gamma}^{1}=\mathcal{CH}_{\Gamma}=\mathcal{S}_{\Gamma}^{2}=\emptyset.

This is presented as a charged analogue of Christodoulou’s trapped-surface result and as a statement implying Weak Cosmic Censorship; it remains open in the general charged setting.
