Abstract

We investigate the existence of invariantly defined quasi-local hypersurfaces in the Kastor-Traschen solution containing $N$ charge-equal-to-mass black holes. These hypersurfaces are characterized by the vanishing of particular curvature invariants, known as Cartan invariants, which are generated using the frame approach. The Cartan invariants of interest describe the expansion of the outgoing and ingoing null vectors belonging to the invariant null frame arising from the Cartan-Karlhede algorithm. We show that the evolution of the hypersurfaces surrounding the black holes depends on an upper-bound on the total mass for the case of two and three equal mass black holes. We discuss the results in the context of the geometric horizon conjectures.
