Abstract: We show that the maximal future development of asymptotically flat spherically symmetric black hole initial data for a self-gravitating nonlinear scalar field, also called a Higgs field, contains a connected, achronal marginally trapped tube which is asymptotic to the event horizon of the black hole, provided the initial data is sufficiently small and decays like O(r^{-1/2}), and the potential function V is nonnegative with bounded second derivative. This result can be loosely interpreted as a statement about the stability of `nice' asymptotic behavior of marginally trapped tubes under certain small perturbations of Schwarzschild.

Review text

Let us consider space-like spherically symmetric initial data for the Einstein-Higgs field equations with one asymptotically flat end. Let also \(Q\) be the \(2\)-dimensional Lorentzian quotient of the future Cauchy development of the initial hypersurface \(S\) equipped with asymptotically flat physical reasonable black hole initial data. The main result of the present paper states that, under some technical conditions, \(Q\) contains a connected, achronal marginally trapped tube which intersects \(S\) and is asymptotic to the event horizon.
