On the nonlinear stability of higher dimensional triaxial Bianchi-IX black holes (Q851440): Difference between revisions

The authors prove that the five-dimensional Schwarzschild--Tangherlini solution of the Einstein vacuum equations is orbitally stable with respect to vacuum perturbations of initial data preserving triaxial Bianchi-IX symmetry. The authors prove, that five-dimensional vacuum spacetimes developing from suitable asymptotically flat triaxial Bianchi-IX symmetric initial data and containing a trapped or marginally trapped homogeneous 3-surface necessarily possess a complete null infinity, whose past is bounded to the future by a regular event horizon, whose cross sectional volume in turn satisfies a Penrose inequality, relating it to the final Bondi mass. In particular, the results of this paper give the first examples of vacuum black holes which are not stationary exact solutions.
