On Gowdy Vacuum Spacetimes
نویسنده
چکیده
By Fuchsian techniques, a large family of Gowdy vacuum spacetimes have been constructed for which one has detailed control over the asymptotic behaviour. In this paper we formulate a condition on initial data yielding the same form of asymptotics.

Dynamics of solutions of the Einstein equations with twisted Gowdy symmetry
Some of the most interesting results on the global dynamics of solutions of the vacuum Einstein equations concern the Gowdy spacetimes whose spatial topology is that of a three-dimensional torus. In this paper certain of these ideas are extended to a wider class of vacuum spacetimes where the spatial topology is that of a non-trivial torus bundle over a circle. Compared to the case of the torus...
متن کاملStrong Cosmic Censorship for Solutions of the Einstein-maxwell Field Equations with Polarized Gowdy Symmetry
A proof of strong cosmic censorship is presented for a class of solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell equations, those with polarized Gowdy symmetry. A key element of the argument is the observation that by means of a suitable choice of variables the central equations in this problem can be written in a form where they are identical to the central equations for general (i.e. non-polarized) vacuum G...

متن کاملAsymptotic Behavior of Geodesics in Gowdy Spacetimes
Recent work by the authors led to the development of a mathematical theory dealing with 'second– order hyperbolic Fuchsian systems', as we call them. In the present paper, we adopt a physical standpoint and discuss the implications of this theory which provides one with a new tool to tackle the Einstein equations of general relativity (under certain symmetry assumptions). Specifically, we formu...
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...
