Cauchy horizons in Gowdy space times
نویسنده
چکیده
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.

Acausality in Gowdy spacetimes
We present a parametrization of T 3 and S ×S2 Gowdy cosmological models which allows us to study both types of topologies simultaneously. We show that there exists a coordinate system in which the general solution of the linear polarized special case (with both topologies) has exactly the same functional dependence. This unified parametrization is used to investigate the existence of Cauchy hor...
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...
متن کاملClassical stability of black hole Cauchy horizons in two-dimensional asymptotically flat space-times
In this paper we analyse the stability of black hole Cauchy horizons arising in a class of 2d dilaton gravity models. It is shown that due to the characteristic asymptotic Rindler form of the metric of these models, time dependent gravitational perturbations generated in the external region do not necessarily blow up when propagated along the Cauchy horizon. There exists, in fact, a region of n...
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...
متن کاملThe stability of Killing–Cauchy horizons in colliding plane wave space-times
It is confirmed rigorously that the Killing–Cauchy horizons, which sometimes occur in spacetimes representing the collision and subsequent interaction of plane gravitational waves in a Minkowski background, are unstable with respect to bounded perturbations of the initial waves, at least for the case in which the initial waves have constant aligned polarizations.
