The Kerr–Newman extension of the angular-momentum Penrose inequality

Consider initial data satisfying the appropriate energy conditions, with horizon area AA, angular momentum JJ, and electric charge QQ. Kerr–Newman extension conjecture. The ADM mass should satisfy

MADMA16π+4πJ2A+Q24,M_{\mathrm{ADM}} \geq \sqrt{\frac{A}{16\pi} + \frac{4\pi J^2}{A} + \frac{Q^2}{4}},

with equality for Kerr–Newman spacetime. This is the full charged-and-rotating extension; the source notes that the complete Kerr–Newman case remains conjectural while pure rotation and pure charge cases are treated separately.
