Spacetime topology from causality
We prove that a globally hyperbolic spacetime with its causality relation is a bicontinuous poset whose interval topology is the manifold topology. This provides an abstract mathematical setting in which one can study causality independent of geometry and differentiable structure.
متن کاملSymmetry-seeking spacetime coordinates
One of the fundamental problems in numerically constructing spacetimes without symmetries (3D numerical relativity) is the choice of suitable coordinates. The task is not just to find a good coordinate system for a known spacetime, but the spacetime is not actually known when the calculation begins, so that one has to construct the coordinate system along with the spacetime. In principle, once ...
متن کاملSchwarzschild Spacetime without Coordinates
We discuss how to construct the full Schwarzschild (Kruskal-Szekeres) spacetime in one swoop by using the bundle of orthonormal Lorentz frames and the Einstein equation without the use of coordinates. We never have to write down the Kruskal-Szekeres or an equivalent form of the metric. email: [email protected]
متن کاملDuality of Coordinates and Matter Fields in Curved Spacetime
We show that there exists a duality between the local coordinates and the solutions of the Klein-Gordon equation in curved spacetime in the same sense as in the Minkowski spacetime. However, the duality in curved spacetime does not have the same generality as in flat spacetime and it holds only if the system satisfies certain constraints. We derive these constraints and the basic equations of d...
متن کاملSpacetime causality in the study of the Hankel transform
We study Hilbert space aspects of the Klein-Gordon equation in two-dimensional spacetime. We associate to its restriction to a spacelike wedge a scattering from the past light cone to the future light cone, which is then shown to be (essentially) the Hankel transform of order zero. We apply this to give a novel proof, solely based on the causality of this spatio-temporal wave propagation, of th...
