Construction of Cauchy Data of Vacuum Einstein field equations Evolving to Black Holes


Abstract in English

We show the existence of complete, asymptotically flat Cauchy initial data for the vacuum Einstein field equations, free of trapped surfaces, whose future development must admit a trapped surface. Moreover, the datum is exactly a constant time slice in Minkowski space-time inside and exactly a constant time slice in Kerr space-time outside. The proof makes use of the full strength of Christodoulous work on the dynamical formation of black holes and Corvino-Schoens work on the constructions of initial data set.
