AI中文摘要：
我们推导了一个无端点的光学刚性定理，并利用它区分了比安基I型时空中的两种刚性机制，且未假设空间度规在固定基底下是对角的。对于光滑、正则、无扭转的零汇，仿射瑞乔杜里方程将有限的零里奇积分表示为膨胀边界项减去非负的光学体项。若过去和未来的截断被独立移除，且其两端的下极限非负，则双侧完备性会迫使光学张量和零里奇缩并逐点为零。在比安基I型时空中，这会将空间度规冻结在守恒余矢量的固定核上。我们对由此产生的饱和几何进行了分类：非静态度规具有0条、1条或2条无向饱和线，等价于0条、2条或4条有向射线，而第三条饱和线的存在会迫使度规成为静态的。在更强的逐点零收敛条件下，仅存在一条双侧完备的零测地线就足以迫使空间度规为常数，且宇宙时区间为整个$\mathbb R$；在笛卡尔通用覆盖下，该时空为闵可夫斯基时空。周期模型在较弱的截断稳定机制下达到四射线饱和界，在每个非饱和方向上满足$I_p^{\mathrm{ind}}=-\infty$，而逐点零收敛在开时间区间上不成立。在关于场方程和截断方案的明确匹配假设下，我们阐述了物质与非时序平均零能量的相关推论。
英文摘要：
In Einstein gravity, every null geodesic of a non-static Bianchi I spacetime satisfying the null energy condition is incomplete in at least one direction within the Bianchi I region. We prove a stronger directional rigidity theorem: a single null geodesic complete in both affine directions forces staticity if the null curvature is nonnegative along it and, at each time, in one transverse null direction. The spatial metric need not be diagonal, and the expansion rates may have either sign. The proof uses caustic-free null congruences whose conserved spatial covectors define fixed screen hyperplanes. The two curvature conditions admit averaged replacements along the geodesic and, when cosmic time is complete, along comoving worldlines. In a non-static metric, at most four oriented directions are optically saturated; every other complete null geodesic has strictly negative averaged null curvature. Periodic and finite-pulse examples attain this bound with NEC-violating sources and nonpositive total energy density. For finite pulses, we derive bounds on metric excursions from three directional curvature budgets at fixed cosmic duration, and on the mode mixing of a free, massless, minimally coupled test scalar field from the averaged null-energy deficit at fixed affine duration.
