Cosmic Censorship: do horizons always form?
Are black objects always stable? Phase diagrams...
Universal limit on maximum luminosity G/c^5 (Dyson ‘63)
Critical behavior, resonant excitation of QNMs?
Test analytical techniques, their predictions and power (Penrose ’74, D’Eath & Payne ’93, Eardley & Giddings ’02)

• “An imploding object forms a BH when, and only when, a circular hoop with circumference 2 the
Schwarzschild radius of the object can be made that encloses the object in all directions.”
Large amount of energy in small region
Hoop Conjecture (Thorne 1972)
This is the hoop R=2GM/c2
