广义相对论中零面积奇点的几何理论

A geometric theory of zero area singularities in general relativity

Hubert L. Bray, Jeffrey L. Jauregui

摘要:

负质量的史瓦西时空度规是众所周知的包含一个裸奇点。在类空切片中,度量的这种奇异性的特征在于附近的表面具有任意小的面积。我们发展了一个理论,这种“零面积奇点”在黎曼流形,推广远远超出史瓦西的情况下(例如,允许奇点有非平凡的拓扑)。我们还定义了这种奇点的质量。在共形几何中的一个猜想的假设下,本文的主要结果是关于非负数量曲率的渐近平坦流形的ADM质量的一个下界.这个证明依赖于黎曼彭罗斯不等式。不等式中的相等是由负质量的史瓦西度规得到的。一个直接的推论是正质量定理的一个版本,它允许某些类型的不完全度量。

英文摘要:

The Schwarzschild spacetime metric of negative mass is well-known to contain a naked singularity. In a spacelike slice, this singularity of the metric is characterized by the property that nearby surfaces have arbitrarily small area. We develop a theory of such "zero area singularities" in Riemannian manifolds, generalizing far beyond the Schwarzschild case (for example, allowing the singularities to have nontrivial topology). We also define the mass of such singularities. The main result of this paper is a lower bound on the ADM mass of an asymptotically flat manifold of nonnegative scalar curvature in terms of the masses of its singularities, assuming a certain conjecture in conformal geometry. The proof relies on the Riemannian Penrose Inequality. Equality is attained in the inequality by the Schwarzschild metric of negative mass. An immediate corollary is a version of the Positive Mass Theorem that allows for certain types of incomplete metrics.
