Blow-Up of Test Fields Near Cauchy Horizons
نویسنده
چکیده
The behaviour of test fields near a compact Cauchy horizon is investigated. It is shown that solutions of nonlinear wave equations on Taub spacetime with generic initial data cannot be continued smoothly to both extensions of the spacetime through the Cauchy horizon. This is proved using an energy method. Similar results are obtained for the spacetimes of Moncrief containing a compact Cauchy horizon and for more general matter models. * Partially supported by NSF grant DMS 8601783 and Office of Naval Research grant ONR NO 014 92 J 1245 1

Existence and blow-up of solution of Cauchy problem for the sixth order damped Boussinesq equation
In this paper, we consider the existence and uniqueness of the global solution for the sixth-order damped Boussinesq equation. Moreover, the finite-time blow-up of the solution for the equation is investigated by the concavity method.
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 کاملDomain Walls Spacetimes: Instability of Cosmological Event and Cauchy Horizons
The stability of cosmological event and Cauchy horizons of spacetimes associated with plane symmetric domain walls are studied. It is found that both horizons are not stable against perturbations of null fluids and massless scalar fields; they are turned into curvature singularities. These singularities are light-like and strong in the sense that both the tidal forces and distortions acting on ...
متن کاملThe Blow-up Problem for Exponential Nonlinearities
We give a solution of the blow-up problem for equation u = e, with data close to constants, in any number of space dimensions: there exists a blow-up surface, near which the solution has logarithmic behavior; its smoothness is estimated in terms of the smoothness of the data. More precisely, we prove that for any solution of u = e with Cauchy data on t = 1 close to (ln 2; 2) in H(R) H (R), s is...
