Abstract: The following theorem is established. Among all static, asymptotically flat vacuum space-times with closed simply connected equipotential surfaces ${g}_{00}=\mathrm{constant}$, the Schwarzschild solution is the only one which has a nonsingular infinite-red-shift surface ${g}_{00}=0$. Thus there exists no static asymmetric perturbation of the Schwarzschild manifold due to internal sources (e.g., a quadrupole moment) which will preserve a regular event horizon. Possible implications of this result for asymmetric gravitational collapse are briefly discussed.

Scalar Curvature, Metric Degenerations and the Static Vacuum Einstein Equations on 3-manifolds, I
Michael T. Anderson
TL;DR: The static vacuum Einstein equations on 3-manifolds are studied using scalar curvature and metric degenerations. The main result is the classification of all solutions in terms of the asymptotic behavior of the scalar curvature.

Scalar curvature, metric degenerations and the static vacuum Einstein equations on 3-manifolds, I
TL;DR: In this article, the boundary behavior of the moduli space of Yamabe metrics on an arbitrary closed 3-manifold M is studied, and it is proved that such degenerations, when non-trivial in a certain sense, are described by solutions of the static vacuum Einstein equations.

Stability of a Schwarzschild Singularity
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that a Schwarzschild singularity, spherically symmetrical and endowed with mass, will undergo small vibrations about the spherical form and therefore remain stable if subjected to a small nonspherical perturbation.

Maximal analytic extension of the Kerr metric
TL;DR: Kruskal's transformation of the Schwarzschild metric is generalized to apply to the stationary, axially symmetric vacuum solution of Kerr, and is used to construct a maximal analytic extension of the latter.

W. Israel,K. A. Khan +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a static vacuum line element is derived which represents the field of a collinear set of spherically symmetric masses and a limiting process applied to this line-element yields an explicit global solution of a problem first considered by Bondi.

Possible Instability in the Self-closure Phenomenon in Gravitational Collapse
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors point out that models with exact spherical symmetry possess idiosyncrasies which render them dangerous, and perhaps misleading, as a basis for induction, and they suggest that such models are not suitable for induction.
