What is a trapped surface ?<br />

1/ Expansion of a surface along a normal vec<strong>to</strong>r field<br />

1 Consider a spacelike 2-surface S<br />

(induced metric: q)<br />

2 Take a vec<strong>to</strong>r field v defined on<br />

S and normal <strong>to</strong> S at each<br />

point<br />

3 ε being a small parameter,<br />

displace the point p by the<br />

vec<strong>to</strong>r εv <strong>to</strong> the point p ′<br />

4 Do the same for each point in<br />

S, keeping the value of ε fixed<br />
