Discrete Group Actions on Spacetimes: Causality Conditions and the Causal Boundary
Suppose a spacetime M is a quotient of a spacetime V by a discrete group of isometries. It is shown how causality conditions in the two spacetimes are related, and how can one learn about the future causal boundary on M by studying structures in V . The relations between the two are particularly simple (the boundary of the quotient is the quotient of the boundary) if both V and M have spacelike...
متن کاملThe causal boundary of wave-type spacetimes
A complete and systematic approach to compute the causal boundary of wave-type spacetimes is carried out. The case of a 1-dimensional boundary is specially analyzed and its critical appearance in pp-wave type spacetimes is emphasized. In particular, the corresponding results obtained in the framework of the AdS/CFT correspondence for holography on the boundary, are reinterpreted and very widely...
متن کاملThe Causal Boundary of spacetimes revisited
We present a new development of the causal boundary of spacetimes, originally introduced by Geroch, Kronheimer and Penrose. Given a strongly causal spacetime (or, more generally, a chronological set), we reconsider the GKP ideas to construct a family of completions with a chronology and topology extending the original ones. Many of these completions present undesirable features, like those appe...
متن کاملTopology of the Causal Boundary for Standard Static Spacetimes
The causal boundary of a strongly causal spacetime, introduced by Geroch, Kronheimer, and Penrose in [GKP], is a tool for examining the causal nature of a spacetime “at infinity”. As it is conformally invariant, it is a property of the conformal structure of the spacetime. The addition of the causal boundary to a spacetime results in an object whose structure might be most naturally characteriz...
متن کاملOn the cohomology of discrete abelian group actions
Generalizing a result of Depauw, we prove that the geometric cohomology groups for a Z d action are in any dimension isomorphic to the Feldman-Moore cohomology groups rsp. the algebraic group cohomology groups. This result holds in the smooth, topological or measurable category and for general Polish groups as coeecient groups.
