Global Prescribed Mean Curvature foliations in cosmological spacetimes with matter Part II
نویسنده
چکیده
This second part is devoted to the investigation of global properties of Prescribed Mean Curvature (PMC) foliations in cosmological spacetimes with local U(1)× U(1) symmetry and matter described by the Vlasov equation. It turns out, that these spacetimes admit a global foliation by PMC surfaces, as well, but the techniques to achieve this goal are more complex than in the cases considered in part I.

Global Prescribed Mean Curvature foliations in cosmological spacetimes with matter Part I
This work investigates some global questions about cosmological spacetimes with two dimensional spherical, plane and hyperbolic symmetry containing matter. The result is, that these spacetimes admit a global foliation by prescribed mean curvature surfaces, which extends at least towards a crushing singularity. The time function of the foliation is geometrically defined and unique up to the choi...
متن کاملLocal Prescribed Mean Curvature foliations in cosmological spacetimes
A theorem about local in time existence of spacelike foliations with prescribed mean curvature in cosmological spacetimes will be proved. The time function of the foliation is geometrically defined and fixes the diffeomorphism invariance inherent in general foliations of spacetimes. Moreover, in contrast to the situation of the more special constant mean curvature foliations, which play an impo...
متن کاملConstant mean curvature foliations in cosmological spacetimes
Foliations by constant mean curvature hypersurfaces provide a possibility of defining a preferred time coordinate in general relativity. In the following various conjectures are made about the existence of foliations of this kind in spacetimes satisfying the strong energy condition and possessing compact Cauchy hypersurfaces. Recent progress on proving these conjectures under supplementary assu...
متن کاملSpacetimes admitting quasi-conformal curvature tensor
The object of the present paper is to study spacetimes admitting quasi-conformal curvature tensor. At first we prove that a quasi-conformally flat spacetime is Einstein and hence it is of constant curvature and the energy momentum tensor of such a spacetime satisfying Einstein's field equation with cosmological constant is covariant constant. Next, we prove that if the perfect flui...
متن کاملExistence and Non-existence Results for Global Constant Mean Curvature Foliations
If (M, g) is a Lorentz manifold and S a spacelike hypersurface, let h and k denote the induced metric and second fundamental form of S respectively. The mean curvature of S is the trace trhk. An interesting class of spacelike hypersurfaces are those whose mean curvature is constant (CMC hypersurfaces). The Lorentz manifolds of primary interest in the following are those which possess a compact ...
