Global Hyperbolicity of Sliced Spaces
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that for generic sliced spacetimes global hyperbolicity is equivalent to space completeness under the assumption that the lapse, shift and spatial metric are uniformly bounded. This leads us to the conclusion that simple sliced spaces are timelike and null geodesically complete if and only if space is a complete Riemannian manifold.

Strong Hyperbolicity
We propose the metric notion of strong hyperbolicity as a way of obtaining hyperbolicity with sharp additional properties. Specifically, strongly hyperbolic spaces are Gromov hyperbolic spaces that are metrically well-behaved at infinity, and, under weak geodesic assumptions, they are strongly bolic as well. We show that CAT(−1) spaces are strongly hyperbolic. On the way, we determine the best ...
متن کاملThe Role of Funnels and Punctures in the Gromov Hyperbolicity of Riemann Surfaces
We prove results on geodesic metric spaces which guarantee that some spaces are not hyperbolic in the Gromov sense. We use these theorems in order to study the hyperbolicity of Riemann surfaces. We obtain a criterion on the genus of a surface which implies non-hyperbolicity. We also include a characterization of the hyperbolicity of a Riemann surface S∗ obtained by deleting a closed set from on...
متن کاملPositivity of Relative Canonical Bundles of Families of Canonically Polarized Manifolds
The Kähler-Einstein metrics on the fibers of an effectively parameterized family of canonically polarized manifolds induce a hermitian metric on the relative canonical bundle. We use a global elliptic equation to show that this metric is strictly positive. Applications concern the curvature of the classical and generalized Weil-Petersson metrics and hyperbolicity of moduli spaces.

We use drifted Brownian motion in warped product model spaces as comparison constructions to show p-hyperbolicity of a large class of submanifolds for p ≥ 2. The condition for p-hyperbolicity is expressed in terms of upper support functions for the radial sectional curvatures of the ambient space and for the radial convexity of the sub-manifold. In the process of showing p-hyperbolicity we also...
متن کاملFast approximation and exact computation of negative curvature parameters of graphs
In this paper, we study Gromov hyperbolicity and related parameters, that represent how close (locally) a metric space is to a tree from a metric point of view. The study of Gromov hyperbolicity for geodesic metric spaces can be reduced to the study of graph hyperbolicity. Our main contribution in this note is a new characterization of hyperbolicity for graphs (and for complete geodesic metric ...
