Abstract

We construct a time-symmetric asymptotically flat initial data set to the Einstein-Maxwell Equations which satisfies m -1/2 (R + Q^2 / R) > 0 where m is the total mass, R = \sqrt A / 4 pi is the area radius of the outermost horizon and Q is the total charge. This yields a counter-example to a natural extension of the Penrose Inequality for charged black holes
