Inextendibility of expanding cosmological models with symmetry

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2010-11-05 v1

Abstract

A new criterion for inextendibility of expanding cosmological models with symmetry is presented. It is applied to derive a number of new results and to simplify the proofs of existing ones. In particular it shows that the solutions of the Einstein-Vlasov system with T2T^2 symmetry, including the vacuum solutions, are inextendible in the future. The technique introduced adds a qualitatively new element to the available tool-kit for studying strong cosmic censorship.
