black holes - A Universal Upper Limit on Mass Within a Radius R?



Since the universe has a positive cosmological constant, there is an upper limit on the mass of the black holes as evident from the so-called Schwarzschild-de Sitter metric:


ds2=f(r)dt2+1f(r)dr2+r2dΩ22


where, f(r)=12MrΛ3r2.


It suggests that a singularity would be a black hole only if the mass is not greater than 13Λ and if the mass exceeds this limit then the singularity would become naked. But if we consider the Cosmic Censorship seriously then we must expect that (since the naked singularities can't exist) no singularity can have a mass greater than 13Λ. This suggests that there is an upper limit on mass itself (namely, 13Λ) that can be put inside a radius of 23Λ. Thus, within a radius R, mass can't ever exceed 13Λ if R23Λ. (Perhaps, by perpetually shifting the origin of the coordinate set-up to cover the desired region, I can argue that within a radius R, mass can't exceed n3Λ if n is the smallest possible integer solution for l where R2l3Λ.) If we consider censorship seriously, then it doesn't suggest that if the mass exceeds this limit then it will form a naked singularity but it rather suggests that mass just can't exceed this limit.


This seems result seems quite interesting to me and I can't figure out as to what reason or mechanism would keep the mass from crossing this limit. What is the resolution to this question (provided it demands a resolution)?
