A fully anisotropic mechanism for formation of trapped surfaces in vacuum

We present a new, fully anisotropic, criterion for formation of trapped surfaces in vacuum. More precisely we provide local conditions on null data, concentrated in a neighborhood of a short null geodesic segment (possibly flat in all other directions) whose future development contains a trapped sur...
