A Note on the Collision of Reissner-Nordström Gravitational Shock Waves in AdS

arXiv:1203.1046 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2012.06.019

Abstract

We study the collision of two Reissner-Nordström gravitational shock waves in AdS and show that the charge completely prevents the formation of marginally trapped surfaces of the Penrose type with topology S^(D-2), independently of the energy and the value of the impact parameter. In the case of head-on collisions, a numerical analysis shows that no trapped surfaces with topology S^1 \times S^(D-3) form either.
