Stability between foliations in general relativity
نویسنده
چکیده
The aim of this paper is to study foliations that remain invariable by parallel transports along the integral curves of vector fields of another foliations. According to this idea, we define a new concept of stability between foliations. A particular case of stability (called regular stability) is studied, giving a useful characterization in terms of the Riemann curvature tensor. This characterization allows us to prove that there are no regularly self-stable foliations of dimension greater than 1 in Schwarzschild and Robertson-Walker space-times. Finally, we study the existence of regularly self-stable foliations in other space-times, like pp-wave space-times.

General relativity histories theory II : Invariance groups
In this paper we show in detail how the histories description of general relativity carries representations of both the spacetime diffeomorphisms group and the Dirac algebra of constraints. We show that the introduction of metric-dependent equivariant foliations leads to the crucial result that the canonical constraints are invariant under the action of spacetime diffeomorphisms. Furthermore, t...
متن کاملBranched Pull-back Components of the Space of Codimension 1 Foliations on P
Let F be written as f∗G, where G is a foliation in P with three invariant lines in general position, say (XY Z) = 0, and f : P P, f = (F 0 : F 1 : F γ 2 ) is a nonlinear rational map. Using local stability results of singular holomorphic foliations, we prove that: if n ≥ 3, the foliation F is globally stable under holomorphic deformations. As a consequence we obtain new irreducible componentes ...
متن کاملGeometric Bounds in Spherically Symmetric General Relativity
We exploit an arbitrary extrinsic time foliation of spacetime to solve the constraints in spherically symmetric general relativity. Among such foliations there is a one parameter family, linear and homogeneous in the extrinsic curvature, which permit the momentum constraint to be solved exactly. This family includes, as special cases, the extrinsic time gauges that have been exploited in the pa...
متن کاملGeometric description of lightlike foliations by an observer in general relativity
We introduce new concepts and properties of lightlike distributions and foliations (of dimension and co-dimension 1) in a space-time manifold of dimension n, from a purely geometric point of view. Given an observer and a lightlike distribution Ω of dimension or co-dimension 1, its lightlike direction is broken down into two vector fields: a timelike vector field U representing the observer and ...

We continue our examination of the constraints in spherically symmetric general relativity. We extend to general configurations with J 6= 0 the analysis of II which treated a moment of time symmetry. We exploit the one parameter family of foliations introduced in I which are linear and homogeneous in the extrinsic curvature to characterize apparent horizons and spatial singularities in the init...
