Making sense of the bizarre behaviour of horizons in the McVittie
spacetime
   [PDF]

Valerio Faraoni, Andres F. Zambrano Moreno, Roshina Nandra
The bizarre behaviour of the apparent (black hole and cosmological) horizons
of the McVittie spacetime is discussed using, as an analogy, the
Schwarzschild-de Sitter-Kottler spacetime (which is a special case of McVittie
anyway). For a dust-dominated "background" universe, a black hole cannot exist
at early times because its (apparent) horizon would be larger than the
cosmological(apparent) horizon. A phantom-dominated "background" universe
causes this situation, and the horizon behaviour, to be time-reversed.
