We propose a reduced constrained Hamiltonian formalism for the exactly soluble $B \wedge F$ theory of flat connections and closed two-forms over manifolds with topology $\Sigma^3 \times (0,1)$. The reduced phase space variables are the…
We prove that a globally hyperbolic smooth spacetime endowed with a $\smash{\mathrm{C}^1}$-Lorentzian metric whose Ricci tensor is bounded from below in all timelike directions, in a distributional sense, obeys the timelike…
This paper is devoted to the study of curvature properties of Hayward black hole (briefly, HBH) spacetime, which is a solution of Einstein field equations (briefly, EFE) having non-vanishing cosmological constant. We have proved that the…
We say that a finite metric space $X$ can be embedded almost isometrically into a class of metric spaces $C$, if for every $\epsilon > 0$ there exists an embedding of $X$ into one of the elements of $C$ with the bi-Lipschitz distortion less…
The new formulation of the causal completion of spacetimes suggested in [1], and modified later in [2], is tested by computing the causal boundary for product spacetimes of a Lorentz interval and a Riemannian manifold. This is…
When studying the causal propagation of a field in a globally hyperbolic spacetime M, one often wants to express the physical intuition that it has compact support in spacelike directions, or that its support is a spacelike compact set. We…
Let $M$ be a Hadamard manifold with curvature bounded above by a negative constant $-\alpha$, satisfying the "strict convexity condition", and assume that $M$ admits a "helicoidal" one-parameter subgroup $G$ of isometries of $M$. Then,…
It is proven that any spherically symmetric spacetime that possesses a compact Cauchy surface $\Sigma$ and that satisfies the dominant-energy and non-negative-pressures conditions must have a finite lifetime in the sense that all timelike…
In this paper, we describe a family of embedded hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature (CMC) in the $(n+1)$-dimensional unit sphere. In the process, we provide evidence for new CMC embedded examples. In particular, for some examples…
We study the geometry of the foliation by constant Gaussian curvature surfaces $(\Sigma_k)_k$ of a hyperbolic end, and how it relates to the structures of its boundary at infinity and of its pleated boundary. First, we show that the…
We study the geometry of stable maximal hypersurfaces in a variety of spacetimes satisfying various physically relevant curvature assumptions, for instance the Timelike Convergence Condition (TCC). We characterize stability when the target…
It is observed that on many 4-manifolds there is a unique smooth structure underlying a globally hyperbolic Lorentz metric. For instance, every contractible smooth 4-manifold admitting a globally hyperbolic Lorentz metric is diffeomorphic…
The problem of existence of spacelike hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature in asymptotically flat spacetimes is considered for a class of asymptotically Schwarzschild spacetimes satisfying an interior condition. Using a barrier…
We shall investigate flat surfaces in hyperbolic 3-space with admissible singularities, called `flat fronts'. An Osserman-type inequality for complete flat fronts is shown. When equality holds in this inequality, we show that all the ends…
This paper shows that immersed totally geodesic $m$-dimensional suborbifolds of $n$-dimensional arithmetic hyperbolic orbifolds correspond to finite subgroups of the commensurator whenever $m \geqslant \frac{n-1}{2}$. We call such totally…
This paper establishes novel bounds for Gowdy-symmetric Einstein-Euler spacetimes and completes the analysis, initiated by LeFloch and Rendall, of the global areal foliation for these spacetimes. We thus consider the initial value problem…
We study existence, uniqueness, and distributional aspects of generalized solutions to the Cauchy problem for first-order symmetric (or Hermitian) hyperbolic systems of partial differential equations with Colombeau generalized functions as…
We use the intrinsic area to define a distance on the space of homothety classes of convex bodies in the $n$-dimensional Euclidean space, which makes it isometric to a convex subset of the infinite dimensional hyperbolic space. The ambient…
In this paper we give a complete local parametric classification of the hypersurfaces with dimension at least three of a space form that carry a totally geodesic foliation of codimension one. A classification under the assumption that the…
We prove that each special Lorentzian holonomy group (with the exception of those including the isotropy groups of K\"ahler symmetric spaces with rank greater than one) can be realized as the holonomy group of a globally hyperbolic…
