Mean-stable surfaces in Static Einstein-Maxwell theory

Abstract

In this paper we use the theory of mean-stable surfaces (stable minimal surfaces included) to explore the static Einstein-Maxwell space-time. We first prove that the zero set of the lapse function must be contained in the horizon boundary. Then, we explore some implications of it providing some results of nonexistence of stable minimal surfaces in the interior of an electrostatic space, subject to a certain initial boundary data. We finish by proving that the ADM mass is bounded from above by the Hawking quasi-local mass.
