We first prove that given a Fuchsian representation $\rho_\circ: \pi_1S \ra {\rm PSL}(2,\R)$, where $S$ is a closed oriented surface of genus $\geq 2$, any hyperbolic cone-metric on $S$ with cone-angles $>2\pi$ isometrically embeds as a…
We consider (flat) Cauchy-complete GH spacetimes, i.e., globally hyperbolic flat lorentzian manifolds admitting some Cauchy hypersurface on which the ambient lorentzian metric restricts as a complete riemannian metric. We define a family of…
We give a quantitative estimate for the quantum mean absolute deviation on hyperbolic surfaces of finite area in terms of geometric parameters such as the genus, number of cusps and injectivity radius. It implies a delocalisation result of…
We consider the Gauss curvature type flow for uniformly convex hypersurfaces in the hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^{n+1}\ (n\geqslant 2)$. We prove that if the initial closed hypersurface is smooth and uniformly convex, then the smooth…
Global hyperbolicity is a central concept in Mathematical Relativity. Here, we review the different approaches to this concept explaining both, classical approaches and recent results. The former includes Cauchy hypersurfaces, naked…
Chernov-Nemirovski observed that the existence of a globally hyperbolic Lorentzian metric on a (3 + 1)-spacetime pins down a smooth structure on the underlying 4-manifold. In this paper, we point out that the diffeomorphism type of a…
In this work, we study various properties of embedded hypersurfaces in $1+1+2$ decomposed spacetimes with a preferred spatial direction, denoted $e^{\mu}$, which are orthogonal to the fluid flow velocity of the spacetime and admit a proper…
We prove a Gauss-Bonnet formula for the extrinsic curvature of complete surfaces in hyperbolic space under some assumptions on the asymptotic behaviour. The result is given in terms of the measure of geodesics intersecting the surface…
Previous work on applications of Abstract Differential Geometry (ADG) to discrete Lorentzian quantum gravity is brought to its categorical climax by organizing the curved finitary spacetime sheaves of quantum causal sets involved therein,…
We show that an ansatz for $1+3+n$ dimensional static spacetime with spherical symmetry in three dimensions and Euclidean symmetry in $n$ dimensions, parametrized by only one function of radial coordinate, leads to a limited set of vacuum…
The manuscript studies a 3+N+1-dimensional space in which the N extra dimensions are dynamically compact. The 3 large dimensions, behaving as the spacial part of the FRW metric, possess a different scale factor in comparison with the N…
We study a tensorial exponential transformation of a three-dimensional metric of space-like hypersurfaces embedded in a four-dimensional space-time, $\gamma_{ij} = e^{\epsilon_{ikm}\theta_m} e^{\phi_k} e^{-\epsilon_{jkn}\theta_n}$, where…
In the first part of this thesis, Kerr-Schild metrics and extended Kerr-Schild metrics are analyzed in the context of higher dimensional general relativity. Employing the higher dimensional generalizations of the Newman-Penrose formalism…
We study a lattice regularization of the gravitational path integral--causal dynamical triangulations--for (2+1)-dimensional Einstein gravity with positive cosmological constant in the presence of past and future spacelike boundaries of…
The intention of this article is to give a flavour of some global problems in General Relativity. We cover a variety of topics, some of them related to the fundamental concept of 'Cauchy hypersurfaces': (1) structure of globally hyperbolic…
In the mathematical physics literature, there are heuristic arguments, going back three decades, suggesting that for an open set of initially smooth solutions to the Einstein-vacuum equations in high dimensions, stable, approximately…
In a recent paper Jorge and Mercuri proved that the image of Gauss map of a complete non flat minimal surfaces in R3 with finite total curvature omits at most 2 points. In this work we follow their idea and prove 3a similar result for CMC-1…
We show that the index of a constant mean curvature 1 surface in hyperbolic 3-space is completely determined by the compact Riemann surface and secondary Gauss map that represent it in Bryant's Weierstrass representation. We give three…
This work investigates some global questions about cosmological spacetimes with two dimensional spherical, plane and hyperbolic symmetry containing matter. The result is, that these spacetimes admit a global foliation by prescribed mean…
We consider maximal globally hyperbolic flat (2+1) spacetimes with compact space S of genus g>1. For any spacetime M of this type, the length of time that the events have been in existence is M defines a global time, called the cosmological…
