Smoothing the Path to Penrose: A New Approach to Spacetime Geometry
![Within a spherically symmetric conformal flow, the Jang slope [latex]Q(r)[/latex] increases monotonically from zero at the horizon, approaching a limiting value of one only asymptotically-a behavior that avoids the finite radius breakdown observed in the Jang/zero divergence system.](https://arxiv.org/html/2601.15359v1/x3.png)
Numerical simulations suggest a novel coupling of the Jang equation with conformal flows overcomes limitations in proving the Penrose inequality, a longstanding problem in general relativity.
