Spacelike singularity conjecture for generic asymptotically flat black holes
Let a gravitational-collapse spacetime arise from one-ended initial data on a hypersurface . For a point on a spacelike singularity , say that its causal past has relatively compact intersection with when this intersection is relatively compact. Spacelike singularity conjecture. The terminal boundary of a generic asymptotically flat black hole consists of a null piece emanating from infinity , namely the Cauchy horizon , together with a non-empty spacelike singularity such that, for every , the causal past of has relatively compact intersection with . This conjecture describes the expected terminal structure of generic black-hole interiors in gravitational collapse; the supplied text gives no resolution status.
