Abstract

Abstract: In this paper we investigate the extension of the charged Riemannian Penrose inequality to the case where charges are present outside the horizon. We prove a positive result when the charge densities are compactly supported, and present a counterexample when the charges extend to infinity. We also discuss additional extensions to other matter models.
