A Note on the Collision of Reissner-Nordstr\"om Gravitational Shock Waves in AdS
Abstract
We study the collision of two Reissner-Nordstr\"om gravitational shock waves in AdS and show that the charge completely prevents the formation of marginally trapped surfaces of the Penrose type with topology S(D-2), independently of the energy and the value of the impact parameter. In the case of head-on collisions, a numerical analysis shows that no trapped surfaces with topology S1 × S(D-3) form either.
