Abstract: We prove a conjecture of Tom Ilmanen's and Hubert Bray's regarding the existence of the outermost generalized apparent horizon in an initial data set and that it is outer area minimizing.

Review text

The author proves the following conjecture of Tom Ilmanen and Hubert Bray by using the construction in [\textit{M. Eichmair}, The Plateau problem for marginally trapped surfaces. \url{arXiv:0711.4139v3} preprint (2007)]. Conjecture. Let \((M^n,g,p)\) be a complete asymptotically flat initial data set which contains a generalized trapped surface, and let \(2\leq n\leq 7\). Then there exists a unique outermost generalized trapped surface \(\Sigma^{n-1}\subset M^n\). Moreover, this surface \(\Sigma^{n-1}\) is a generalized apparent horizon and it is outer area minimizing (every hypersurface which encloses it has at least its area).
