2 00 7 A new method to construct spacetimes with a spacelike circle action ∗
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new general procedure to construct realistic spacetimes is introduced. It is based on the null congruence on a time-oriented Lorentzian manifold associated to a certain timelike vector field. As an application, new examples of stably causal Petrov type D spacetimes which obey the timelike convergence condition and which admit an isometric spacelike circle action are obtained.

The causal boundary construction of Geroch, Kronheimer, and Penrose has some universal properties of importance for general studies of spacetimes, particularly when equipped with a topology derived from the causal structure. Properties of the causal boundary are detailed for spacetimes with spacelike boundaries, for multi-warped spacetimes, for static spacetimes, and for spacetimes with group a...

This paper treats the global existence question for a collection of general relativistic collisionless particles, all having the same mass. The spacetimes considered are globally hyperbolic, with Cauchy surface a three-torus. Furthermore, the spacetimes considered are isometrically invariant under a two-dimensional group action, the orbits of which are spacelike two-tori. It is known from previ...
متن کامل2 00 3 Mass , Action and Entropy of Taub - Bolt - dS Spacetimes
We apply a recent proposal for defining conserved mass in asymptotically de Sitter spacetimes to the class of Taub-Bolt-dS spacetimes. We compute the action, entropy and conserved mass of these spacetimes, and find that in certain instances the mass and entropy can exceed that of pure de Sitter spacetime, in violation of recent suggestive conjectures to the contrary. The search for a holographi...
متن کاملSingularities and Closed String Tachyons
A basic problem in gravitational physics is the resolution of spacetime singularities where general relativity breaks down. The simplest such singularities are conical singularities arising from orbifold identifications of flat space, and the most challenging are spacelike singularities inside black holes (and in cosmology). Topology changing processes also require evolution through classically...
متن کاملHolographic Renormalization of Asymptotically Flat Spacetimes
A new local, covariant “counter-term” is used to construct a variational principle for asymptotically flat spacetimes in any spacetime dimension d ≥ 4. The new counter-term makes direct contact with more familiar background subtraction procedures, but is a local algebraic function of the boundary metric and Ricci curvature. The corresponding action satisfies two important properties required fo...
