On the dynamics of Gowdy space times

چکیده
We study the behavior near the singularity t=0 of Gowdy metrics. We prove existence of an open dense set of boundary points near which the solution is smoothly “asymptotically velocity term dominated” (AVTD). We show that the set of solutions which are AVTD near the whole boundary and which satisfy a uniformity condition is open in the set of all solutions. We analyse in detail the asymptotic behavior of “power law” solutions at the (hitherto unchartered) points at which the asymptotic velocity equals zero or one. Several other related results are established.

Cauchy horizons in Gowdy space times
We analyse exhaustively the structure of non-degenerate Cauchy horizons in Gowdy space-times, and we establish existence of a large class of non-polarized Gowdy space-times with such horizons. Added in proof: Our results here, together with deep new results of H. Ringström (talk at the Miami Waves conference, January 2004), establish strong cosmic censorship in (toroidal) Gowdy space-times.
متن کاملQuantum Dynamics of the Polarized Gowdy T 3 Model
The polarized Gowdy T 3 vacuum spacetimes are characterized, modulo gauge, by a " point particle " degree of freedom and a function ϕ that satisfies a linear field equation and a non-linear constraint. The quantum Gowdy model has been defined by using a representation for ϕ on a Fock space F. Using this quantum model, it has recently been shown that the dynamical evolution determined by the lin...
متن کاملProbing Quantum General Relativity through Exactly Soluble Midi-Superspaces II: Polarized Gowdy Models
Canonical quantization of the polarized Gowdy midi-superspace with a 3torus spatial topology is carried out. As in an earlier work on the EinsteinRosen cylindrical waves, symmetry reduction is used to cast the original problem in 4-dimensional space-times to a 3-dimensional setting. To our knowledge, this is the first complete, systematic treatment of the Gowdy model in the geometrodynamical se...
متن کاملDynamics of Space Free-Flying Robots with Flexible Appendages
A Space Free-Flying Robot (SFFR) includes an actuated base equipped with one or more manipulators to perform on-orbit missions. Distinct from fixed-based manipulators, the spacecraft (base) of a SFFR responds to dynamic reaction forces due to manipulator motions. In order to control such a system, it is essential to consider the dynamic coupling between the manipulators and the base. Explicit d...
متن کاملAsymptotic behavior of the T3 x R Gowdy space-times.
We present new evidence in support of the Penrose's strong cosmic censorship conjecture in the class of Gowdy spacetimes with T 3 spatial topology. Solving Einstein's equations perturbatively to all orders we show that asymptotically close to the boundary of the maximal Cauchy development the dominant term in the expansion gives rise to curvature singularity for almost all initial data. The dom...
