Strong cosmic censorship in vacuum space–times with compact, locally homogeneous Cauchy surfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the question of strong cosmic censorship in spatially compact, spatially locally homogeneous vacuum models. We show in particular that strong cosmic censorship holds in Bianchi IX vacuum space–times with spherical spatial topology.

Strong Cosmic Censorship and Causality Violation
We investigate the instability of the Cauchy horizon caused by causality violation in the compact vacuum universe with the topology B × S × R, which Moncrief and Isenberg considered. We show that if the occurrence of curvature singularities are restricted to the boundary of causality violating region, the whole segments of the boundary become curvature singularities. This implies that the stron...
متن کاملCauchy 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 کاملGeneralised Hyperbolicity in Space-times with Conical Singularities
A desirable property of any space-time used to model a physically plausible scenario is that the evolution of the Einstein’s equations is well posed i.e. the initial value problem has a unique solution. Space-times whose metrics are at least C, which guarantees the existence of unique geodesics, fall within the context of the Cosmic Censorship Hypothesis of Penrose (1979). The hypothesis states...
متن کاملMatching of spatially homogeneous non-stationary space–times to vacuum in cylindrical symmetry
We study the matching of LRS spatially homogeneous collapsing dust space-times with non-stationary vacuum exteriors in cylindrical symmetry. Given an interior with diagonal metric we prove existence and uniqueness results for the exterior. The matched solutions contain trapped surfaces, singularities and Cauchy horizons. The solutions cannot be asymptotically flat and we present evidence that t...

Some interesting consequences of spacelike matter shells are presented, in particular the possibility of travelling through Cauchy horizons and violating the strong cosmic censorship hypothesis. These show that the weak energy condition does not guarentee cosmic censorship.
