Description

It is shown that no continuous process in which the energy tensor of accreted matter remains bounded and satisfies the weak energy condition in a neighborhood of the apparent horizon can reduce the surface gravity of a black hole to zero within a finite advanced time. This gives a precise expression to the third law of black-hole mechanics
