Geodesic Completeness of Orthogonally Transitive Cylindrical Spacetimes
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper a theorem is derived in order to provide a wide sufficient condition for an orthogonally transitive cylindrical spacetime to be singularity-free. The applicability of the theorem is tested on examples provided by the literature that are known to have regular curvature invariants.

Singularity-free orthogonally-transitive cylindrical spacetimes
This talk will deal to a certain extent with the natural continuation of some work in progress that was introduced last year at the Spanish Relativity Meeting in Salamanca 1, 2 and that has recently been published 3. The reason for investigating geodesic completeness of Lorentzian manifolds is twofold. From the mathematical point of view, there is no analogue for the Hopf-Rinow theorem that cha...
متن کاملExterior Differential System for Cosmological G2 Perfect Fluids and Geodesic Completeness
In this paper a new formalism based on exterior differential systems is derived for perfect-fluid spacetimes endowed with an abelian orthogonally transitive G2 group of motions acting on spacelike surfaces. This formulation allows simplifications of Einstein equations and it can be applied for different purposes. As an example a singularity-free metric is rederived in this framework. A sufficie...
متن کاملNew families of singularity-free cosmological models
During the previous decade the interest for singularity-free cosmological models was supported by the publication of the first known geodesically complete perfect fluid cosmology [1]. Until then such possibility had been overlooked due to the restrictive conditions imposed by singularity theorems [2], [3]. These theorems required physically reasonable restrictions such as energy, causality and ...
متن کاملHypersurface-orthogonal generators of an orthogonally transitive transitive G2I , topological identifications, and axially and cylindrically symmetric spacetimes
A criterion given by Castejon-Amenedo and MacCallum (1990) for the existence of (locally) hypersurface-orthogonal generators of an orthogonally-transitive two-parameter Abelian group of motions (a G2I) in spacetime is re-expressed as a test for linear dependence with constant coefficients between the three components of the metric in the orbits in canonical coordinates. In general, it is shown ...
متن کاملTwo-geodesic transitive graphs of prime power order
In a non-complete graph $Gamma$, a vertex triple $(u,v,w)$ with $v$ adjacent to both $u$ and $w$ is called a $2$-geodesic if $uneq w$ and $u,w$ are not adjacent. The graph $Gamma$ is said to be $2$-geodesic transitive if its automorphism group is transitive on arcs, and also on 2-geodesics. We first produce a reduction theorem for the family of $2$-geodesic transitive graphs of prime power or...
