Dynamical horizon

In this article, the topic of Dynamical horizon is addressed from a broad and varied perspective. Dynamical horizon is a topic that has sparked interest and debate in various spheres of society, generating conflicting opinions and divergent positions. Throughout history, Dynamical horizon has played a fundamental role in the evolution of different aspects of daily life, as well as in the development of culture and identity of different communities. Through a detailed and in-depth analysis, the multiple edges that make up the complexity of Dynamical horizon will be explored, examining its impact, implications and possible future projections.

In theoretical physics, a dynamical horizon (DH) is a local description (i.e. independent of the global structure of space–time) of evolving black-hole horizons. In the literature there exist two different mathematical formulations of DHs—the 2+2 formulation developed first by Sean Hayward and the 3+1 formulation developed by Abhay Ashtekar and others (see Ashtekar & Krishnan 2004).[1] It provides a description of a black hole that is evolving (e.g. one that has a non-zero mass–energy influx).[1] A related formalism, for black holes with zero influx, is an isolated horizon.

Formal definition

The formal definition of a dynamical horizon is as follows:

A smooth, three-dimensional, space-like submanifold (possibly with boundary) Σ of space–time M is said to be a dynamical horizon if it can be foliated by a family of closed 2-manifolds such that on each leaf L

  • the expansion Θ(ℓ) of one null normal ℓ is zero (i.e. it vanishes); and
  • the expansion Θ(n) of the other null normal n is negative.
