Thesis (Ph.D.)--Memorial University of Newfoundland, 2009. Theoretical Physics Includes bibliographical references (leaves 86-99) An isolated horizon (IH) is a null hypersurface at which the geometry is held fixed. This generalizes the notion of an event horizon so that the black hole is an object t...
