Black hole formation from a complete regular past
arXiv:gr-qc/0310040 · doi:10.1007/s00220-009-0775-7
Abstract
An open problem in general relativity has been to construct an asymptotically flat solution to a reasonable Einstein-matter system containing a black hole in the future and yet past-causally geodesically complete, in particular, containing no white holes. We give such an example in this paper--in fact, a family of such examples, stable in a suitable sense--for the case of a self-gravitating scalar field.
