48 results for topological sort

In this note we study the topology of 3-dimensional initial data sets with horizons of a sort associated with asymptotically locally anti-de Sitter spacetimes. We show that, within this class, those initial data sets which contain no (immersed) marginally outer trapped surfaces in their interior must have simple topolo…
