Curvature Blow up in Bianchi Viii and Ix Vacuum Spacetimes
نویسنده
چکیده
The maximal globally hyperbolic development of non-Taub-NUT Bianchi IX vacuum initial data and of non-NUT Bianchi VIII vacuum initial data is C2-inextendible. Furthermore, a curvature invariant is unbounded in the incomplete directions of inextendible causal geodesics.

The Bianchi Ix Attractor
We consider the asymptotic behaviour of spatially homogeneous spacetimes of Bianchi type IX close to the singularity (we also consider some of the other Bianchi types, e. g. Bianchi VIII in the stiff fluid case). The matter content is assumed to be an orthogonal perfect fluid with linear equation of state and zero cosmological constant. In terms of the variables of Wainwright and Hsu, we have t...
متن کاملThe Future Asymptotics of Bianchi Viii Vacuum Solutions
Bianchi VIII vacuum solutions to Einstein’s equations are causally geodesically complete to the future, given an appropriate time orientation, and the objective of this article is to analyze the asymptotic behaviour of solutions in this time direction. For the Bianchi class A spacetimes, there is a formulation of the field equations that was presented in an article by Wainwright and Hsu, and we...
متن کاملCurvature Blow up on a Dense Subset of the Singularity in T -gowdy
This paper is concerned with the Einstein vacuum equations under the additional assumption of T 3-Gowdy symmetry. We prove that there is a generic set of initial data such that the corresponding solutions exhibit curvature blow up on a dense subset of the singularity. By generic, we mean a countable intersection of open sets (i.e. a Gδ set) which is also dense. Furthermore, the set of initial d...
متن کاملScalar fields on S̃L(2,R) and H ×R geometric spacetimes and linear perturbations
Using appropriate harmonics, we study the future asymptotic behavior of massless scalar fields on a class of cosmological vacuum spacetimes. The spatial manifold is assumed to be a circle bundle over a higher genus surface with a locally homogeneous metric. Such a manifold corresponds to the S̃L(2,R)-geometry (Bianchi VIII type) or the H × R-geometry (Bianchi III type). After a technical prepara...
متن کاملNew Algorithm for Mixmaster Dynamics
We present a new numerical algorithm for evolving the Mixmaster spacetimes. By using symplectic integration techniques to take advantage of the exact Taub solution for the scattering between asymptotic Kasner regimes, we evolve these spacetimes with higher accuracy using much larger time steps than previously possible. The longer Mixmaster evolution thus allowed enables detailed comparison with...
