Proof of the (local) angular momemtum-mass inequality for axisymmetric black holes

Abstract

We prove that for any vacuum, maximal, asymptotically flat, axisymmetric initial data for Einstein equations close to extreme Kerr data, the inequality J ≤ m is satisfied, where m and J are the total mass and angular momentum of the data. The proof consists in showing that extreme Kerr is a local minimum of the mass.
