We introduce a model concerning radiational gaseous stars and establish the existence theory of stationary solutions to the free boundary problem of hydrostatic equations describing the radiative equilibrium. We also establish in the spherically symmetric case the local well-posedness of the moving boundary problem of the corresponding Navier--Stokes--Fourier--Poisson system and construct a priori estimates of strong and classical solutions. Our results explore the vacuum behavior of density and temperature near the free boundary for the equilibrium and capture such degeneracy in the evolutionary problem.

We prove that an extreme Kerr initial data set is a unique absolute minimum of the total mass in a (physically relevant) class of vacuum, maximal, asymptotically flat, axisymmetric data for Einstein equations with fixed angular momentum. These data represent non-stationary, axially symmetric black holes. As a consequence, we obtain that any data in this class satisfy the inequality √J ≤ m, where m and J are the total mass and angular momentum of spacetime.
