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.

TL;DR: The first direct observation of gravitational wave action upon matter has recently been reported by the BICEP2 experiment as mentioned in this paper, and ground-based detectors are being installed They will soon be commissioned, and then begin searches for high-frequency gravitational waves at a sensitivity level that is widely expected to reach events involving compact objects like stellar mass black holes and neutron stars.

Anomaly corrected heterotic horizons
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider supersymmetric near-horizon geometries in heterotic supergravity up to two loop order in sigma model perturbation theory, and identify the conditions for the horizons to admit enhancement of supersymmetry.
Killing spinor data on distorted black hole horizons and the uniqueness of stationary vacuum black holes
TL;DR: In this paper, R\'acz et al. provided conditions on the bifurcation sphere ensuring the existence of an axial Killing vector on the 2-surface, which can be interpreted as restrictions on the curvature of the BSP.

The Israel Theorem: What is Nature Trying to Tell Us?
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the possible physical consequences derived from the fact that the only static and asymptotically-flat vacuum space-time possessing a regular horizon is the Schwarzschild solution.

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.

Collinear particles and bondi dipoles in general relativity
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.
