Constant mean curvature foliations in cosmological spacetimes
Foliations by constant mean curvature hypersurfaces provide a possibility of defining a preferred time coordinate in general relativity. In the following various conjectures are made about the existence of foliations of this kind in spacetimes satisfying the strong energy condition and possessing compact Cauchy hypersurfaces. Recent progress on proving these conjectures under supplementary assu...
متن کاملSpacetimes admitting quasi-conformal curvature tensor
The object of the present paper is to study spacetimes admitting quasi-conformal curvature tensor. At first we prove that a quasi-conformally flat spacetime is Einstein and hence it is of constant curvature and the energy momentum tensor of such a spacetime satisfying Einstein's field equation with cosmological constant is covariant constant. Next, we prove that if the perfect flui...
متن کاملOutline of “lorentz Spacetimes of Constant Curvature” by Geoff Mess
(d) Domains of dependence and geodesic laminations (§5). This section contains the main theorem in the flat case; essentially that domains of dependence are in one-one correspondence with measured geodesic laminations. First some basic causality; domains of dependence are defined and Proposition 11 describes the structure of the causal horizon. Proposition 12 is one half of the main theorem; gi...
متن کاملExact impulsive gravitational waves in spacetimes of constant curvature
Exact solutions exist which describe impulsive gravitational waves propagating in Minkowski, de Sitter, or anti-de Sitter universes. These may be either nonexpanding or expanding. Both cases in each background are reviewed here from a unified point of view. All the main methods for their construction are described systematically: the Penrose “cut and paste” method, explicit construction of cont...
متن کاملCosmological spacetimes not covered by a constant mean curvature slicing
We show that there exist maximal globally hyperbolic solutions of the Einstein-dust equations which admit a constant mean curvature Cauchy surface, but are not covered by a constant mean curvature foliation.
