We establish necessary conditions for the appearance of both apparent horizons and singularities in the initial data of spherically symmetric general relativity when spacetime is foliated extrinsically. When the dominant energy condition is satisfied these conditions assume a particularly simple form. Let rho(max) be the maximum value of the energy density and l the radial measure of its support. If rho(max) l(2) is bounded from above by some numerical constant, the initial data cannot possess an apparent horizon. This constant does not depend sensitively on the gauge. An analogous inequality is obtained for singularities with some larger constant. The derivation exploits Poincare-type inequalities to bound integrals over certain spatial scalars. A novel approach to the construction of analogous necessary conditions for general initial data is suggested. (S0556-2821(97)01324-6).
