چکیده
The purpose of this note is to establish, in a categorical manner, the universality of the Geroch-Kronheimer-Penrose causal boundary when considering the types of causal structures that may profitably be put on any sort of boundary for a spacetime. Actually, this can only be done for the future causal boundary (or the past causal boundary) separately; furthermore, only the chronology relation, not the causality relation, is considered, and the GKP topology is eschewed. The final result is that there is a unique map, with the proper causal properties, from the future causal boundary of a spacetime onto any “reasonable” boundary which supports some sort of chronological structure and which purports to consist of a future completion of the spacetime. Furthermore, the future causal boundary construction is categorically unique in this regard.

A new type of nonlinear gauge quantum theory (superrelativity) has been proposed [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. Such theory demands a radical reconstruction of the quantum field conception and spacetime structure, and this paves presumably way to the comprehension of the quantum nature of inertia.

Black hole solutions can be used to shed light on general issues in General Relativity and Quantum Physics. Black–hole hair, entropy and naked singularities are considered here, along with some implications for the inflationary universe scenario.

Minimally coupled 4D scalar fields in Schwarzschild space-time are considered. Dimensional reduction to 2D leads to a well known anomaly induced effective action, which we consider here in a local form with the introduction of auxiliary fields. Boundary conditions are imposed on them in order to select the appropriate quantum states (Boulware, Unruh annd Israel-Hartle-Hawking). The stress tenso...

The evolution of a global monopole with an inflating core is investigated. An analytic expression for the exterior metric at large distances from the core is obtained. The overall spacetime structure is studied numerically, both in vacuum and in a radiation background.
