Strong Cosmic Censorship and Causality Violation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate the instability of the Cauchy horizon caused by causality violation in the compact vacuum universe with the topology B × S × R, which Moncrief and Isenberg considered. We show that if the occurrence of curvature singularities are restricted to the boundary of causality violating region, the whole segments of the boundary become curvature singularities. This implies that the strong cosmic censorship holds in the spatially compact vacuum space-time in the case of the causality violation. This also suggests that causality violation cannot occur for a compact universe.

Strong cosmic censorship in vacuum space–times with compact, locally homogeneous Cauchy surfaces
We consider the question of strong cosmic censorship in spatially compact, spatially locally homogeneous vacuum models. We show in particular that strong cosmic censorship holds in Bianchi IX vacuum space–times with spherical spatial topology.
متن کاملStrong Cosmic Censorship in T -gowdy Spacetimes
Einstein’s vacuum equations can be viewed as an initial value problem, and given initial data there is one part of spacetime, the so-called maximal globally hyperbolic development (MGHD), which is uniquely determined up to isometry. Unfortunately, it is sometimes possible to extend the spacetime beyond the MGHD in inequivalent ways. Consequently, the initial data do not uniquely determine the s...
متن کاملGeneralised Hyperbolicity in Space-times with Conical Singularities
A desirable property of any space-time used to model a physically plausible scenario is that the evolution of the Einstein’s equations is well posed i.e. the initial value problem has a unique solution. Space-times whose metrics are at least C, which guarantees the existence of unique geodesics, fall within the context of the Cosmic Censorship Hypothesis of Penrose (1979). The hypothesis states...
متن کاملGeneric cosmic-censorship violation in anti-de Sitter space.
We consider (four-dimensional) gravity coupled to a scalar field with potential V(phi). The potential satisfies the positive energy theorem for solutions that asymptotically tend to a negative local minimum. We show that for a large class of such potentials, there is an open set of smooth initial data that evolve to naked singularities. Hence cosmic censorship does not hold for certain reasonab...
متن کاملCosmic Censorship: As Strong As Ever
Spacetimes which have been considered counterexamples to strong cosmic censorship are revisited. We demonstrate the classical instability of the Cauchy horizon inside charged black holes embedded in de Sitter spacetime for all values of the physical parameters. The relevant modes that maintain the instability, in the regime which was previously considered stable, originate as outgoing modes nea...
