Stability between foliations in general relativity
The aim of this paper is to study foliations that remain invariable by parallel transports along the integral curves of vector fields of another foliations. According to this idea, we define a new concept of stability between foliations. A particular case of stability (called regular stability) is studied, giving a useful characterization in terms of the Riemann curvature tensor. This character...
متن کاملGeometric description of lightlike foliations by an observer in general relativity
We introduce new concepts and properties of lightlike distributions and foliations (of dimension and co-dimension 1) in a space-time manifold of dimension n, from a purely geometric point of view. Given an observer and a lightlike distribution Ω of dimension or co-dimension 1, its lightlike direction is broken down into two vector fields: a timelike vector field U representing the observer and ...
متن کاملThe Confrontation between General Relativity and Experiment
The status of experimental tests of general relativity and of theoretical frameworks for analysing them are reviewed. Einstein's equivalence principle (EEP) is well supported by experiments such as the Eötvös experiment, tests of special relativity, and the gravitational redshift experiment. Future tests of EEP and of the inverse square law will search for new interactions arising from unificat...
متن کاملPrediction in general relativity
Several authors have claimed that prediction is essentially impossible in the general theory of relativity, the case being particularly strong, it is said, when one fully considers the epistemic predicament of the observer. Each of these claims rests on the support of an underdetermination argument and a particular interpretation of the concept of prediction. I argue that these underdeterminati...
متن کاملInvariant Foliations and Stability in Critical Cases
We construct invariant foliations of the extended state space for nonautonomous semilinear dynamic equations on measure chains (time scales). These equations allow a specific parameter dependence which is the key to obtain perturbation results necessary for applications to an analytical discretization theory of ODEs. Using these invariant foliations we deduce a version of the Pliss reduction pr...
