一般宇宙学奇点的性质

The Nature of Generic Cosmological Singularities

Claes Uggla

摘要:

根据定义,奇点的存在意味着一个优选尺度--从/到用于定义奇点的因果测地线的奇点的仿射参数距离。然而,这个可变尺度也被沿着测地线的展开所捕获,并且这可以用于通过因式展开的保角变换来获得正则化的状态空间图像。这导致了共形“哈勃归一化”标准正交框架方法,该方法允许人们将有关空间均匀模型的方法和结果转化为一般非均匀背景,这反过来又使人们能够推导出一般宇宙学奇点的动力学性质。在这里,我们描述了这种方法,并概述了推导的“宇宙学台球吸引子,”它描述了通用的动力学渐近行为对一个通用的类空奇点。我们还比较了“动力系统图片”从这种方法产生的一般类空奇点与其他工作:Belinskii,Lifschitz和Khalatnikov的度量方法,以及最近岩泽基于汉密尔顿方法使用的Damour,Henneaux和Nicolai;特别是,我们表明,由后者和宇宙学台球吸引子得到的宇宙学台球形成互补的“一般类空奇点的一般渐近动力学的对偶描述。

英文摘要:

The existence of a singularity by definition implies a preferred scale--the affine parameter distance from/to the singularity of a causal geodesic that is used to define it. However, this variable scale is also captured by the expansion along the geodesic, and this can be used to obtain a regularized state space picture by means of a conformal transformation that factors out the expansion. This leads to the conformal `Hubble-normalized' orthonormal frame approach which allows one to translate methods and results concerning spatially homogeneous models into the generic inhomogeneous context, which in turn enables one to derive the dynamical nature of generic cosmological singularities. Here we describe this approach and outline the derivation of the `cosmological billiard attractor,' which describes the generic dynamical asymptotic behavior towards a generic spacelike singularity. We also compare the `dynamical systems picture' resulting from this approach with other work on generic spacelike singularities: the metric approach of Belinskii, Lifschitz, and Khalatnikov, and the recent Iwasawa based Hamiltonian method used by Damour, Henneaux, and Nicolai; in particular we show that the cosmological billiards obtained by the latter and the cosmological billiard attractor form complementary `dual' descriptions of the generic asymptotic dynamics of generic spacelike singularities.
