© 2021 Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.Event Horizon, a null hypersurface defining the boundary of the black hole region of a spacetime, is not particularly useful for evolving black holes since it is non-local in time. Instead, one uses the more tangible concept of Apparent Horizon for dynamical black holes out there in the sky that do all sorts of things: Evolve, merge and feed on the environment. Event Horizon, being a gauge-independent, global property of the total spacetime is easy to define and locate in the stationary case; on the other hand, Apparent Horizon depends on the embedding of the surface in spacetime and hence it is somewhat tricky to define. But for numerical simulations in General Relativity, locating the Apparent Horizon helps one to excise the black hole region and the singularity to have a stable computation. Moreover, for stationary solutions cross-sections of these horizons match. Here we give a detailed pedagogical exposition of the subject and work out the non-trivial case of a slowly moving and spinning black hole.

Event horizon detecting invariants Tavlayan, Aydın; Tekin, Bayram (American Physical Society (APS), 2020-04-14) Some judiciously chosen local curvature scalars can be used to invariantly characterize event horizons of black holes inD > 3 dimensions, but they fail for the three dimensional Banados-Teitelboim-Zanelli (BTZ) black hole since all curvature invariants are constant. Here we provide an invariant characterization of the event horizon of the BTZ black hole using the curvature invariants of codimension one hypersurfaces instead of the full spacetime. Our method is also applicable to black holes in generic dimen...
PROBING THE COSMIC FILAMENTS BY MEANS OF X-RAY OBSERVATIONS Bozkurt, M.; Hudaverdi, M.; ERCAN, ENİSE NİHAL (2008-10-05) Recent observations and numerical simulations show that galaxies are not distributed in the Universe randomly. They are placed like the pearls of a necklace. The matter is spread into the space in the form of cosmic filaments and voids. The intersection regions of these cosmic filaments are what we observe as "clusters of galaxies". In this work we selected 9 clusters of galaxies (A1644, A1736, A3528, A3530, A3532, A3556, A3558, A3560, A3562) from SHAPLEY super cluster region, the largest concentration of g...
Entangled Harmonic Oscillators and Space-Time Entanglement Başkal, Sibel; Kim, Young S.; Noz, Marilyn E. (MDPI AG, 2016-6-28) The mathematical basis for the Gaussian entanglement is discussed in detail, as well as its implications in the internal space-time structure of relativistic extended particles. It is shown that the Gaussian entanglement shares the same set of mathematical formulas with the harmonic oscillator in the Lorentz-covariant world. It is thus possible to transfer the concept of entanglement to the Lorentz-covariant picture of the bound state, which requires both space and time separations between two constituent p...
Geometric measures of entanglement UYANIK, KIVANÇ; Turgut, Sadi (American Physical Society (APS), 2010-03-01) The geometric measure of entanglement, which expresses the minimum distance to product states, has been generalized to distances to sets that remain invariant under the stochastic reducibility relation. For each such set, an associated entanglement monotone can be defined. The explicit analytical forms of these measures are obtained for bipartite entangled states. Moreover, the three-qubit case is discussed and it is argued that the distance to the W states is a new monotone.
Exact formulas for spherical photon orbits around Kerr black holes Tavlayan, Aydın; Tekin, Bayram (American Physical Society (APS), 2020-11-01) Exact formulas relating the radii of the spherical photon orbits to the black hole's rotation parameter and the effective inclination angle of the orbit have been known only for equatorial and polar orbits up to now. Here we provide exact formulas for nonequatorial orbits that lie between these extreme limits. For a given rotation parameter of the black hole, there is a critical inclination angle below which there are four null photon orbits two of which are in the exterior region. At the critical angle, th...
