Dynamics in Non-Globally-Hyperbolic Static Spacetimes II: General Analysis of Prescriptions for Dynamics
It was previously shown by one of us that in any static, nonglobally-hyperbolic, spacetime it is always possible to define a sensible dynamics for a Klein-Gordon scalar field. The prescription proposed for doing so involved viewing the spatial derivative part, A, of the wave operator as an operator on a certain L Hilbert space H and then defining a positive, self-adjoint operator on H by taking...
متن کاملRicci Fall-off in Static, Globally Hyperbolic, Non-singular Spacetimes
What restrictions are there on a spacetime for which the Ricci curvature is such as to produce convergence of geodesics (such as the preconditions for the Singularity Theorems) but for which there are no singularities? We answer this question for a restricted class of spacetimes: static, geodesically complete, and globally hyperbolic. The answer is that, in at least one spacelike direction, the...
متن کاملQuantum Field Theory on Certain Non-Globally Hyperbolic Spacetimes
We study real linear scalar eld theory on two simple non-globally hyperbolic spacetimes containing closed timelike curves within the framework proposed by Kay for algebraic quantum eld theory on non-globally hyperbolic spacetimes. In this context, a spacetime (M; g) is said to be `F-quantum compatible' with a eld theory if it admits a -algebra of local observables for that theory which satis es...
متن کاملRigid Singularity Theorem in Globally Hyperbolic Spacetimes
30 years ago, Penrose-Hawking have shown that spacetimes are geodesically incomplete under some physically reasonable conditions [1] [2] [3] [4]. The generic condition is the key assumption to induce singularities rigidly. Geroch improved these theorems with “no observer horizon” condition in place of the generic condition for the spatially closed universe [5,6]. Here, the “no observer horizon”...
متن کاملDynamics in Non-Globally-Hyperbolic Static Spacetimes III: Anti-de Sitter Spacetime
In recent years, there has been considerable interest in theories formulated in anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime. However, AdS spacetime fails to be globally hyperbolic, so a classical field satisfying a hyperbolic wave equation on AdS spacetime need not have a well defined dynamics. Nevertheless, AdS spacetime is static, so the possible rules of dynamics for a field satisfying a linear wave equa...
