Abstract

Global properties of maximal future Cauchy developments of stationary, m-dimensional asymptotically flat initial data with an outer trapped boundary are analyzed. We prove that, whenever the matter model is well posed and satisfies the null energy condition, the future Cauchy development of the data is a black hole spacetime. More specifically, we show that the future Killing development of the exterior of a sufficiently large sphere in the initial data set can be isometrically embedded in the maximal Cauchy development of the data. In the static setting we prove, by working directly on the initial data set, that all Killing prehorizons are embedded whenever the initial data set has an outer trapped boundary and satisfies the null energy condition. By combining both results we prove a uniqueness theorem for static initial data sets with outer trapped boundary.
