Description
This paper discusses derived necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of trapped surfaces in a spherically symmetric spacetime. These conditions show that the so-called Trapped Surface Conjecture: Any mass that is concentrated in a region of sufficiently small diameter can be surrounded by a trapped surface is correct (in the spherical case), and gives an explicit relationship between the amount of matter and the size of the set
