The generalized charged Penrose inequality for non-rotating black holes

Let (M3,g,K,E,B)(M^3,g,K,E,B) be asymptotically flat initial data satisfying the dominant energy condition, with electric field EE, magnetic field BB, and a stable marginally outer trapped surface (MOTS) Σ\Sigma of area AA. Define the total enclosed charge by

Q=14πΣEνdσ.Q=\frac{1}{4\pi}\int_{\Sigma}E\cdot\nu\,d\sigma.

Generalized charged Penrose conjecture. The ADM mass should satisfy

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

This is the charged, non-rotating extension of the Penrose inequality. The source explicitly states that a complete proof remains an important open problem in quasi-local mass theory.
