When enough matter is condensed in a small region, gravitational effects will be strong enough to cause collapse and a black hole will be formed. We formulate and prove here such a statement in the language of general relativity. (This is Theorem 2 of this paper.)

Existence of black holes due to concentration of angular momentum
A bstractWe present a general sufficient condition for the formation of black holes due to concentration of angular momentum. This is expressed in the form of a universal inequality, relating the…
Black holes in Einstein-Maxwell Theory
We prove variants of known singularity theorems ensuring the existence of a region of finite lifetime that are particularly well applicable if the solution admits a conformal extension, a property…

Inequalities Between Size and Charge for Bodies and the Existence of Black Holes Due to Concentration of Charge
A universal inequality that bounds the charge of a body by its size is presented, and is proven as a consequence of the Einstein equations in the context of initial data sets which satisfy an…
Dynamical formation of black holes due to the condensation of matter field
The purpose of the paper is to understand a mechanism of evolutionary formation of trapped surfaces when there is an electromagnetic field coupled to the background space-time. Based on the short…

THE EFFECT OF PRESSURE IN HIGHER DIMENSIONAL QUASI-SPHERICAL GRAVITATIONAL COLLAPSE
We study gravitational collapse in higher dimensional quasi-spherical Szekeres space–time for matter with anisotropic pressure. Both local and global visibility of central curvature singularity has…
Geometric inequalities for black holes
It is well known that the three parameters that characterize the Kerr black hole (mass, angular momentum and horizon area) satisfy several important inequalities. Remarkably, some of these…
Gravitational collapse of vacuum gravitational field configurations
This paper proves a theorem about the existence of an apparent horizon in general relativity, which applies equally well to vacuum configurations and matter configurations. The theorem uses the…
Conformal diagrams for the gravitational collapse of a spherical dust cloud
We present an algorithm for the construction of conformal coordinates in the interior of a spherically symmetric, collapsing matter cloud in general relativity. This algorithm is based on the…

The positive mass theorem states that for a nontrivial isolated physical system, the total energy, which includes contributions from both matter and gravitation is positive. This assertion was…

A new theorem on space-time singularities is presented which largely incorporates and generalizes the previously known results. The theorem implies that space-time singularities are to be expected if…

The purpose of this paper is to study minimal surfaces in three-dimensional manifolds which, on each compact set, minimize area up to second order. If M is a minimal surface in a Riemannian…
