关于Lorentz流形中因果性理论和变分方法的几点注记

Some remarks on Causality Theory and Variational Methods in Lorentzian manifolds

Miguel Sanchez

摘要:

在1997年发表的这次会议上,指出了洛伦兹流形的测地线中有关因果关系和无穷维变分方法的一些问题。尽管从那时起,在许多这些问题上已经取得了很大的进展,但本文中的一些计算可能是有用的,并且没有在其他地方发表。其中,例如,以下一个(第3节)。考虑一个时空,它可以整体地写成一个积$R x M$,使得与$R$中的坐标$t$相关联的自然向量场是类时的。当这个时空是整体双曲的柯西超曲面时,切片$t=$是常数?

英文摘要:

In this conference published in 1997 some problems on the geodesics of a Lorentzian manifold concerning causality and infinite-dimensional variational methods, are pointed out. Even though a big progress on many of these questions have been carried out since then, some computations in this paper may be useful and have not been published elsewhere. Among them, for example, the following one (Section 3). Consider a spacetime which can be written globally as a product $R x M$, such that the natural vector field associated to the coordinate $t$ in $R$ is timelike. When is this spacetime globally hyperbolic with Cauchy hypersurfaces the slices $t=$ constant?
