Generic coexistence of null and spacelike singularities in gravitational collapse
Generic coexistence of null and spacelike singularities in gravitational collapse
Let a black hole form from generic gravitational collapse, and denote its terminal boundary's Cauchy horizon by and its spacelike singularity by . Generic terminal-boundary conjecture. The black hole terminal boundary consists of a weak null singularity, the Cauchy horizon , and a spacelike singularity . This conjecture proposes that both null and spacelike singularities are generic features of gravitational collapse, beyond the explicitly constructed spherically symmetric examples.
