Geodesic connectedness and conjugate points in GRW space–times
Given two points of a Generalized Robertson-Walker spacetime, the existence, multiplicity and causal character of geodesics connecting them is characterized. Conjugate points of such geodesics are related to conjugate points of geodesics on the fiber, and Morse-type relations are obtained. Applications to bidimensional spacetimes and to GRW spacetimes satisfying the timelike convergence conditi...
متن کاملA topological method for geodesic connectedness of space–times: Outer Kerr space–time
For a space–time, the question whether two causally related points can be joined by means of a causal geodesic has a clear physical meaning. More geometrically, geodesic connectedness ~the possibility of joining any two points by a geodesic of any causal type! is a basic property. Some techniques introduced to study geodesic connectedness are appliable to related problems of physical interest, ...
متن کاملGeodesic connectedness of multiwarped spacetimes
A new technique for the study of geodesic connectedness in a class of Lorentzian manifolds is introduced. It is based on arguments of Brouwer’s topological degree for the solution of functional equations. It is shown to be very useful for multiwarped spacetimes, which include different types of relativistic spacetimes. Connectedness by causal geodesics is also proved. r 2002 Elsevier Science (U...
متن کاملGeodesic Connectedness of Semi-riemannian Manifolds
The problem of geodesic connectedness in semi-Riemannian manifolds (i.e. the question whether each two points of the manifold can be joined by a geodesic) has been widely studied from very different viewpoints. Our purpose is to review these semi-Riemannian techniques, and possible extensions. In the Riemannian case, it is natural to state this problem on (incomplete) manifolds with (possibly n...
متن کاملEnergy Distribution of a Gödel - Type Space - Time Ragab
We calculate the energy and momentum distributions associated with a Gödel-type space-time, using the well-known energy-momentum complexes of Landau and Lifshitz and Møller. We show that the definitions of Landau and Lifshitz and Møller do not furnish a consistent result.
