Abstract
Let be a maximal globally hyperbolic Cauchy compact flat spacetime of dimension 2+1, admitting a Cauchy hypersurface diffeomorphic to a compact hyperbolic manifold. We study the asymptotic behaviour of level sets of quasi-concave time functions on . We give a positive answer to a conjecture of Benedetti and Guadagnini in \cite{MR1857817}. More precisely, we prove that the level sets of such a time function converge in the Hausdorff-Gromov equivariant topology to a real tree. Moreover, this limit does not depend on the choice of the time function.
