On the Formation of Black Holes in Nonsymmetric Gravity

It has been recently suggested that the nonsymmetric gravitational theory (NGT) is free of black holes. Here we study the linear version of NGT. We find that even with spherical symmetry the skew part of the metric is generally nonstatic. In addition, if the skew field is initially regular, it will remain regular everywhere and, in particular, at the horizon. Therefore, in the fully nonlinear theory, if the initial skew field is sufficiently small, the formation of a black hole is to be anticipated.
