Future Singularities of Isotropic Cosmologies
We show that globally and regularly hyperbolic future geodesically incomplete isotropic universes, except for the standard all-encompassing ‘big crunch’, can accommodate singularities of only one kind, namely, those having a non-integrable Hubble parameter, H. We analyze several examples from recent literature which illustrate this result and show that such behaviour may arise in a number of di...
متن کاملCosmological Models with Isotropic Singularities
In 1985 Goode and Wainwright devised the concept of an isotropic singularity. Since that time, numerous authors have explored the interesting consequences, in mathematical cosmology, of assuming the existence of this type of singularity. In this paper, we collate all examples of cosmological models which are known to admit an isotropic singularity, and make a number of observations regarding th...
متن کاملStable Isotropic Cosmological Singularities in Quadratic Gravity
We show that, in quadratic lagrangian theories of gravity, isotropic cosmological singularities are stable to the presence of small scalar, vector and tensor inhomogeneities. Unlike in general relativity, a particular exact isotropic solution is shown to be the stable attractor on approach to the initial cosmological singularity. This solution is also known to act as an attractor in Bianchi uni...
متن کاملHyperbolicity singularities in rarefaction waves∗
For mixed-type systems of conservation laws, rarefaction waves may contain states at the boundary of the elliptic region, where two characteristic speeds coincide, and the Lax family of the wave changes. Such contiguous rarefaction waves form a single fan with a continuous profile. Different pairs of families may appear in such rarefactions, giving rise to novel Riemann solution structures. We ...
متن کاملSingular polarimetry: evolution of polarization singularities in electromagnetic waves propagating in a weakly anisotropic medium.
We describe the evolution of a paraxial electromagnetic wave characterizing by a non-uniform polarization distribution with singularities and propagating in a weakly anisotropic medium. Our approach is based on the Stokes vector evolution equation applied to a non-uniform initial polarization field. In the case of a homogeneous medium, this equation is integrated analytically. This yields a 3-d...
