On the instability of 3d null singularities
نویسنده
چکیده
String propagation on a three-dimensional Lorentzian string orbifold with a null singularity has been studied by Horowitz and Steif, and more recently by Liu, Moore and Seiberg. We analyze the target space as a classical gravitational background. The singularity becomes spacelike when an arbitrarily small amount of matter is thrown at the singularity. This can be seen directly by constructing a Vaidya-type solution, or by studying the null singularity as a limit of the M = 0, J = 0 BTZ black hole metric.

Instability of Spacelike and Null Orbifold Singularities
Time dependent orbifolds with spacelike or null singularities have recently been studied as simple models of cosmological singularities. We show that their apparent simplicity is an illusion: the introduction of a single particle causes the spacetime to collapse to a strong curvature singularity (a Big Crunch), even in regions arbitrarily far from the particle.
متن کاملDomain Walls Spacetimes: Instability of Cosmological Event and Cauchy Horizons
The stability of cosmological event and Cauchy horizons of spacetimes associated with plane symmetric domain walls are studied. It is found that both horizons are not stable against perturbations of null fluids and massless scalar fields; they are turned into curvature singularities. These singularities are light-like and strong in the sense that both the tidal forces and distortions acting on ...
متن کاملCurrent singularities at finitely compressible three-dimensional magnetic null points
The formation of current singularities at line-tied twoand three-dimensional 2D and 3D, respectively magnetic null points in a nonresistive magnetohydrodynamic environment is explored. It is shown that, despite the different separatrix structures of 2D and 3D null points, current singularities may be initiated in a formally equivalent manner. This is true no matter whether the collapse is trigg...
متن کاملA Simplified Mathematical Model for the Formation of Null Singularities Inside Black Holes II
We study a simple system of two hyperbolic semi-linear equations, inspired by the Einstein equations. The system, which was introduced in [1], is a model for singularity formation inside black holes. We show for a particular case of the equations that the system demonstrates a finite time blowup. The singularity that is formed is a null singularity. Then we show that in this particular case the...
متن کاملThe Deterministic Generation of Extreme Surface Water Waves Based on Soliton on Finite Background in Laboratory
This paper aims to describe a deterministic generation of extreme waves in a typical towing tank. Such a generation involves an input signal to be provided at the wave maker in such a way that at a certain position in the wave tank, say at a position of a tested object, a large amplitude wave emerges. For the purpose, we consider a model called a spatial-NLS describing the spatial propagation o...
