Bel–robinson Energy and Constant Mean Curvature Foliations
نویسنده
چکیده
An energy estimate is proved for the Bel–Robinson energy along a constant mean curvature foliation in a spatially compact vacuum spacetime, assuming an L∞ bound on the second fundamental form, and a bound on a spacetime version of Bel–Robinson energy.

The Constant Mean Curvature Einstein flow and the Bel-Robinson energy
We give an extensive treatment of the Constant Mean Curvature (CMC) Einstein flow from the point of view of the Bel-Robinson energies. The article, in particular, stresses on estimates showing how the Bel-Robinson energies and the volume of the evolving states control intrinsically the flow along evolution. The treatment is for flows over compact three-manifolds of arbitrary topological type, a...
متن کاملOn the k-nullity foliations in Finsler geometry
Here, a Finsler manifold $(M,F)$ is considered with corresponding curvature tensor, regarded as $2$-forms on the bundle of non-zero tangent vectors. Certain subspaces of the tangent spaces of $M$ determined by the curvature are introduced and called $k$-nullity foliations of the curvature operator. It is shown that if the dimension of foliation is constant, then the distribution is involutive...
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 کاملFoliations and Chern-Heinz inequalities
We extend the Chern-Heinz inequalities about mean curvature and scalar curvature of graphs of C2-functions to leaves of transversally oriented codimension one C2-foliations of Riemannian manifolds. That extends partially Salavessa’s work on mean curvature of graphs and generalize results of Barbosa-Kenmotsu-Oshikiri [3] and Barbosa-GomesSilveira [2] about foliations of 3-dimensional Riemannian ...
