宇宙学时间与CMC时间I:平坦时空

Cosmological time versus CMC time I: Flat spacetimes

Lars Andersson, Thierry Barbot, Francois Beguin, Abdelghani Zeghib

摘要:

本文给出了一个新的证明:具有紧致Cauchy超曲面的$n\geq 3$维极大、整体双曲、平坦时空被具有常中曲率的Cauchy超曲面整体地分割,并且当这种时空的因果不完全时,它允许一个整体定义的常中曲率时间函数.的证明,这是基于使用水平集的宇宙学时间函数的障碍,概念上是简单的,并将提供基础,为今后的工作恒定的中曲率时间函数在一般常曲率时空,以及分析的渐近常数平均叶理。

英文摘要:

This paper gives a new proof that maximal, globally hyperbolic, flat spacetimes of dimension $n\geq 3$ with compact Cauchy hypersurfaces are globally foliated by Cauchy hypersurfaces of constant mean curvature, and that such spacetimes admit a globally defined constant mean curvature time function precisely when they are causally incomplete. The proof, which is based on using the level sets of the cosmological time function as barriers, is conceptually simple and will provide the basis for future work on constant mean curvature time functions in general constant curvature spacetimes, as well for an analysis of the asymptotics of constant mean foliations.
