Talking About Singularities

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2016-11-15 v1

Abstract

We discuss some aspects of recent research as well as more general issues about motivation, useful methods and open problems in the field of cosmological singularities. In particular, we review some of the approaches to the general area and include discussions of the method of asymptotic splittings, singularity and completeness theorems and the use of the Bel-Robinson energy to prove completeness theorems and classify cosmological singularities.
