  We consider a globally hyperbolic, stationary spacetime containing a black
hole but no white hole. We assume, further, that the event horizon, $\tn$, of
the black hole is a Killing horizon with compact cross-sections. We prove that
if surface gravity is non-zero constant throughout the horizon one can {\it
globally} extend such a spacetime so that the image of $\cal N$ is a proper
subset of a regular bifurcate Killing horizon in the enlarged spacetime. The
necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the extendibility of matter
fields to the enlarged spacetime. These conditions are automatically satisfied
if the spacetime is static (and, hence ``$t$"-reflection symmetric) or
stationary-axisymmetric with ``$t-\phi$" reflection isometry and the matter
fields respect the reflection isometry. In addition, we prove that a necessary
and sufficient condition for the constancy of the surface gravity on a Killing
horizon is that the exterior derivative of the twist of the horizon Killing
field vanish on the horizon. As a corollary of this, we recover a result of
Carter that constancy of surface gravity holds for any black hole which is
static or stationary- axisymmetric with the ``$t-\phi$" reflection isometry. No
use of Einstein's equation is made in obtaining any of the above results. Taken
together, these results support the view that any spacetime representing the
asymptotic final state of a black hole formed by gravitational collapse may be
assumed to possess a bifurcate Killing horizon or a Killing horizon with
vanishing surface gravity.
