Abstract: We prove area inequalities for stable marginally outer trapped surfaces in Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory. Our inspiration comes on the one hand from a corresponding upper bound for the area in terms of the charges obtained recently by Dain, Jaramillo and Reiris [1] in the pure Einstein-Maxwell case without symmetries, and on the other hand from Yazadjiev's inequality [2] in the axially symmetric Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton case. The common issue in these proofs and in the present one is a functional $mathscrW$ of the matter fields for which the stability condition readily yields an {it upper} bound. On the other hand, the step which crucially depends on whether or not a dilaton field is present is to obtain a {it lower} bound for $mathscrW$ as well. We obtain the latter by first setting up a variational principle for $mathscrW$ with respect to the dilaton field $phi$, then by proving existence of a minimizer $psi$ as solution of the corresponding Euler-Lagrange equations and finally by estimating $mathscrW(psi)$. In the special case that the normal components of the electric and magnetic fields are proportional we obtain the area bound $Age8piPQ$ in terms of the electric and magnetic charges. In the generic case our results are less explicit but imply rigorous `perturbation' results for the above inequality. All our inequalities are saturated for a 2-parameter family of static, extreme solutions found by Gibbons [3]. Via the Bekenstein-Hawking relation $A=4S$ our results give positive lower bounds for the entropy $S$ which are particularly interesting in the Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton case.
