Trapped surfaces in cosmological spacetimes.

چکیده
We investigate the formation of trapped surfaces in cosmological spacetimes, using constant mean curvature slicing. Quantitative criteria for the formation of trapped surfaces demonstrate that cosmological regions enclosed by trapped surfaces may have matter density exceeding significantly the background matter density of the flat and homogeneous cosmological model. 04.20.Me, 95.30.Sf, 97.60.Lf, 98.80.Dr Typeset using REVTEX 1

متن کاملParticle production from marginally trapped surfaces of general spacetimes
We provide a general formalism that allows to analyze the phenomenon of tunneling in arbitrary spacetimes. We show that a flux of particles produced by tunneling through general marginally trapped surfaces may be perceived by some privileged observers. We discuss how this particle perception can be related to Hawking/Unruh radiation in specific cases. Our approach naturally leads to an expressi...
متن کاملSpacetimes admitting quasi-conformal curvature tensor
The object of the present paper is to study spacetimes admitting quasi-conformal curvature tensor. At first we prove that a quasi-conformally flat spacetime is Einstein and hence it is of constant curvature and the energy momentum tensor of such a spacetime satisfying Einstein's field equation with cosmological constant is covariant constant. Next, we prove that if the perfect flui...
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 کاملLocal Prescribed Mean Curvature foliations in cosmological spacetimes
A theorem about local in time existence of spacelike foliations with prescribed mean curvature in cosmological spacetimes will be proved. The time function of the foliation is geometrically defined and fixes the diffeomorphism invariance inherent in general foliations of spacetimes. Moreover, in contrast to the situation of the more special constant mean curvature foliations, which play an impo...
