Generalised Hyperbolicity in Singular Space-times
نویسنده
چکیده
A new concept analogous to global hyperbolicity is introduced, based on test fields. It is shown that the space-times termed here " curve integrable " are globally hyperbolic in this new sense, and a plausibility argument is given suggesting that the result applies to shell crossing singularities. If the assumptions behind this last argument are valid, this provides an alternative route to the assertion that such singularities do not violate cosmic censorship.

Solutions of the wave equation in a space-time containing a thin cosmic string are examined in the context of non-linear generalised functions. Existence and uniqueness of solutions to the wave equation in the Colombeau algebra G is established for a conical space-time and this solution is shown to be associated to a distributional solution. A concept of generalised hyperbolicity, based on test...
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...

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; that is the initial value problem admits a unique solution. Space-times whose metrics are at least C2−, which guarantees the existence of unique geodesics, fall within the context of the Cosmic Censorship Hypothesis of Penrose (1979). This hypothe...
