引力场的几何边界数据

Geometric Boundary Data for the Gravitational Field

H-O. Kreiss, J. Winicour

摘要:

在广义相对论中处理边界的一个突出问题是缺乏对必要的边界数据的局部几何解释。对于柯西问题,初始数据由初始柯西超曲面的3-度量和外曲率提供。这个柯西数据确定了爱因斯坦方程的解,该解在一个自同构下是唯一的。在这里,我们展示了如何三块边界数据,这是本地与边界的几何形状,同样确定的解决方案的初边值问题是唯一的一个同构。其中一个数据,从外部曲率的边界构造,确定边界的动态演化。另外两个部分构成了一个秩为2的共形类,正定度规,它们代表了两个引力自由度。

英文摘要:

An outstanding issue in the treatment of boundaries in general relativity is the lack of a local geometric interpretation of the necessary boundary data. For the Cauchy problem, the initial data is supplied by the 3-metric and extrinsic curvature of the initial Cauchy hypersurface.. This Cauchy data determines a solution to Einstein's equations which is unique up to a diffeomorphism. Here, we show how three pieces of boundary data, which are associated locally with the geometry of the boundary, likewise determine a solution of the initial-boundary value problem which is unique up to a diffeomorphism. One piece of this data, constructed from the extrinsic curvature of the boundary, determines the dynamical evolution of the boundary. The other two pieces constitute a conformal class of rank-2, positive definite metrics, which represent the two gravitational degrees of freedom.
