Dynamical horizon
In theoretical physics, a dynamical horizon (DH) is a local description (i.e. independent of the global structure of the spacetime) of evolving black hole horizons. In literature there exists two different mathematical formulation of DHs—2+2 formulation developed by Sean Hayward and 3+1 formulation developed by Abhay Ashtekar and others (see Ashtekar & Krishnan 2004).[1] It provides a description of a black hole that is evolving (e.g. one that has a non-zero mass-energy influx).[1] 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:
A smooth, three-dimensional, space-like submanifold (possibly with boundary) Σ of space-time M is said to be a dynamical horizon if it can be foliated by a family of closed 2-manifolds such that on each leaf L
the expansion Θ(ℓ) of one null normal ℓ is zero (i.e. it vanishes); and
the expansion Θ(n) of the other null normal n is negative.
