Extreme black hole uniqueness conjecture for multiple degenerate black holes
Extreme black hole uniqueness conjecture for multiple degenerate black holes
A singular harmonic map is associated with a collection of distinct punctures on the -axis, at positions , with potential constants giving nonzero angular momenta at each puncture. The tangent map parameters are denoted by , for .
Extreme black hole uniqueness conjecture. At least one tangent map parameter must be nonzero:
This is a PDE formulation of the claim that regular asymptotically flat multiple degenerate black hole solutions to the axisymmetric stationary vacuum Einstein equations do not exist. If all vanished, the associated stationary vacuum spacetime would have no conical singularities and would provide a counterexample to extreme black hole uniqueness.
