Abstract

We present a proof of the Riemannian Penrose inequality with charge in the context of asymptotically flat initial data sets for the Einstein–Maxwell equations, having possibly multiple black holes with no charged matter outside the horizon, and satisfying the relevant dominant energy condition. The proof is based on a generalization of Hubert Bray’s conformal flow of metrics adapted to this setting.
