Schwarzschild Radius and Event Horizon01:21

Schwarzschild Radius and Event Horizon

1.9K
No object with a finite mass can travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum. This fact has an interesting consequence in the domain of extremely high gravitational fields.
The minimum speed required to launch a projectile from the surface of an object to which it is gravitationally bound so that it eventually escapes the object’s gravitational field is called the escape velocity. The escape velocity is independent of the mass of the object. Merging the idea of escape...

Space-Time Curvature and the General Theory of Relativity

2.6K
In 1905, Albert Einstein published his special theory of relativity. According to this theory, no matter in the universe can attain a speed greater than the speed of light in a vacuum, which thus serves as the speed limit of the universe.
This has been verified in many experiments. However, space and time are no longer absolute. Two observers moving relative to one another do not agree on the length of objects or the passage of time. The mechanics of objects based on Newton's laws of...

Gravitation Between Spherically Symmetric Masses

854
The gravitational potential energy between two spherically symmetric bodies can be calculated from the masses and the distance between the bodies, assuming that the center of mass is concentrated at the respective centers of the bodies.

Detection of Black Holes01:10

Detection of Black Holes

2.2K
Although black holes were theoretically postulated in the 1920s, they remained outside the domain of observational astronomy until the 1970s.
Their closest cousins are neutron stars, which are composed almost entirely of neutrons packed against each other, making them extremely dense. A neutron star has the same mass as the Sun but its diameter is only a few kilometers. Therefore, the escape velocity from their surface is close to the speed of light.
Not until the 1960s, when the first neutron...

Toroids01:27

Toroids

2.9K
A toroid is a closely wound donut-shaped coil constructed using a single  conducting wire. In general, it is assumed that a toriod consists of  multiple circular loops perpendicular to its axis.
When connected to a supply, the magnetic field generated in the toroid has field lines circular and concentric to its axis. Conventionally, the direction of this magnetic field is expressed using the right-hand rule. If the fingers of the right hand curl in the current direction, the thumb...

Reduced Mass Coordinates: Isolated Two-body Problem01:12

Reduced Mass Coordinates: Isolated Two-body Problem

1.2K
In classical mechanics, the two-body problem is one of the fundamental problems describing the motion of two interacting bodies under gravity or any other central force. When considering the motion of two bodies, one of the most important concepts is the reduced mass coordinates, a quantity that allows the two-body problem to be solved like a single-body problem. In these circumstances, it is assumed that a single body with reduced mass revolves around another body fixed in a position with an...

This summary is machine-generated.

We show that all marginally outer trapped surfaces (MOTSs) in de Sitter spacetime are unstable. However, we prove the existence of complete MOTTs with constant mean curvature sections in de Sitter spacetime.

Area of Science:

  • General Relativity
  • Differential Geometry
  • Mathematical Physics

Background:

  • Marginally outer trapped surfaces (MOTSs) are crucial for defining black hole horizons.
  • Constructing marginally outer trapped tubes (MOTTs) in de Sitter spacetime presents unique challenges.
  • Previous work established existence of CMC surfaces in spheres, relevant for MOTT construction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the properties of MOTSs in de Sitter spacetime.
  • To prove the existence of complete MOTTs with constant mean curvature (CMC) sections in de Sitter spacetime.
  • To analyze the stability of MOTSs and their implications for MOTTs.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of spacetimes satisfying the null convergence condition and possessing a timelike conformal Killing vector.
  • Application of a scaling argument to translate results from spherical geometry to de Sitter spacetime.
  • Comparison with existing area laws for holographic screens.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated that all MOTSs in spacetimes with specific conditions are unstable.
  • Proved the existence of complete MOTTs with CMC sections in de Sitter spacetime.
  • Showed that the area of these CMC sections strictly increases monotonically.

Conclusions:

  • The instability of MOTSs prevents standard propagation results from applying to MOTTs.
  • The existence of complete MOTTs with CMC sections in de Sitter spacetime is established.
  • The monotonic increase in CMC section area offers insights into holographic screen properties.
