Popis: We study the causal dynamics of an embedded null horizon foliated by marginally outer trapped surfaces (MOTS) for a locally rotationally symmetric background spacetime subjected to linear perturbations. We introduce a simple procedure which characterizes the transition of the causal character of the null horizon. We apply our characterization scheme to non-dissipative perturbations of the Schwarzschild and spatially homogeneous backgrounds. For the latter, a linear equation of state was imposed. Assuming a harmonic decomposition of the linearized field equations, we clarify the variables of a formal solution to the linearized system that determine how the null horizon evolves. For both classes of backgrounds, the shear and vorticity 2-vectors are essential to the characterization, and their roles are made precise. Finally, we discuss aspects of the relationship between the characterizing conditions. Various properties related to the self-adjointness of the MOTS stability operator are extensively discussed.
