Note on flat foliations of spherically symmetric spacetimes

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2016-08-31 v3

Abstract

It is known that spherically symmetric spacetimes admit flat spacelike foliations. We point out a simple method of seeing this result via the Hamiltonian constraints of general relativity. The method yields explicit formulas for the extrinsic curvatures of the slicings.
