Dynamical horizon


In theoretical physics, a dynamical horizon is a local description 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. It provides a description of a black hole that is evolving. 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:
