The Signature Problem for Embedded Space-times

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The compatibility between the general relativity and the mathematical property that the space-times are embedded manifolds are further examined. In particular we study the uniqueness of the signature of the embedding space for a given space-time. The interpretation of the twisting vector as a gauge potential is also implemented.
