The Brown-York mass and the Thorne hoop conjecture
Niall O Murchadha, Roh-Suan Tung, Naqing Xie +1
The Thorne hoop conjecture is an attempt to make precise the notion that gravitational collapse occurs if enough energy is compressed into a small enough volume, with the `size' be…
Bowen-York trumpet data and black-hole simulations
Mark Hannam, Sascha Husa, Niall Ó Murchadha
The most popular method to construct initial data for black-hole-binary simulations is the puncture method, in which compactified wormholes are given linear and angular momentum vi…
Quasilocal Energy in General Relativity
Niall Ó Murchadha, Roh-Suan Tung, Naqing Xie
We show that the quasilocal mass defined by Wang and Yau is not well-defined at spatial infinity. It approaches neither the ADM mass nor the ADM energy. We suggest an alternative s…
Stationary hyperboloidal slicings with evolved gauge conditions
Frank Ohme, Mark Hannam, Sascha Husa +1
We analyze stationary slicings of the Schwarzschild spacetime defined by members of the Bona-Masso family of slicing conditions. Our main focus is on the influence of a non-vanishi…
