Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 101101 – Published 16 March 2006

Abstract

The inequality $\sqrt{J} \leq m$ is proved for vacuum, asymptotically flat, maximal, and axisymmetric data close to extreme Kerr data. The physical significance of this inequality and its relation to the standard picture of the gravitational collapse are discussed.
