Quasilocal energy and surface geometry of Kerr spacetime

We study the quasi-local energy (QLE) and the surface geometry for Kerr spacetime in the Boyer-Lindquist coordinates without taking the slow rotation approximation. We also consider in the region $r\leq2m$, which is inside the ergosphere. For a certain region, $r>r_{k}(a)$, the Gaussian curvature of the surface with constant $t,r$ is positive, and for $r>\sqrt{3}a$ the critical value of the QLE is positive. We found that the three curves: the outer horizon $r=r_{+}(a)$, $r=r_{k}(a)$ and $r=\sqrt{3}a$ intersect at the point $a=\sqrt{3}m/2$, which is the limit for the horizon to be isometrically embedded into $\mathbb{R}^3$. The numerical result indicates that the Kerr QLE is monotonically decreasing to the ADM $m$ from the region inside the ergosphere to large $r$. Based on the second law of black hole dynamics, the QLE is increasing with respect to the irreducible mass $M_{\mathrm{ir}}$. From a results of Chen-Wang-Yau, we conclude that in a certain region, $r>r_{h}(a)$, the critical value of the Kerr QLE is a global minimum.
