Maximal Hypersurfaces in Asymptotically Stationary Space-Times

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2015-06-25 v1

Abstract

Existence of maximal hypersurfaces and of foliations by maximal hypersurfaces is proven in two classes of asymptotically flat spacetimes which possess a one parameter group of isometries whose orbits are timelike ``near infinity''. The first class consists of strongly causal asymptotically flat spacetimes which contain no ``black hole or white hole" (but may contain ``ergoregions" where the Killing orbits fail to be timelike). The second class of spacetimes possess a black hole and a white hole, with the black and white hole horizons intersecting in a compact 2-surface SS.
