Description
I will present a proof that extremal black holes arise on the threshold of gravitational collapse. More precisely, I will present a construction of one-parameter families of smooth solutions to the Einstein-Maxwell-charged Vlasov system which interpolate between dispersion and collapse and for which the critical solution is an extremal Reissner-Nordström black hole. This is joint work with Christoph Kehle (ETH Zürich).
