Abstract

In the preceding chapters we have demonstrated that the gravitational collapse of a spherical nonrotating mass produces a spherically symmetric black hole when the. radius of the body becomes less than the gravitational radius. In Section 3.4 we have shown that after a black hole has been formed in the collapse of a body slightly deviating from spherical symmetry, all deviations from spherical symmetry rapidly vanish, except those due to small angular momentum J. Angular momentum remains practically unaltered through the collapse. If the collapsing body has an electric charge, then its total charge and electric field due to this charge are also unaltered, while all other components of the electromagnetic field in the external space also rapidly vanish.
