Cases where the Penrose limit theorem does not hold
Penrose's limit theorem (PLT, really a conjecture) states that the relative power measure of two voters tends asymptotically to their relative voting weight (number of votes). This property approximately holds in most of real life and in randomly generated WVGs for various measures of voting power. Lindner and Machover prove it for some special cases; amongst others they give a condition for th...
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 کاملA singularity theorem based on spatial averages
Inspired by Raychaudhuri’s work, and using the equation named after him as a basic ingredient, I prove a new singularity theorem: open non-rotating everywhere expanding universes with non-vanishing spatial average of the matter variables are totally geodesically incomplete to the past. Another way of stating the same is that, under the same conditions, any singularity-free model must have a van...
متن کاملA New Type of Singularity Theorem
A new type of singularity theorem, based on spatial averages of physical quantities, is presented and discussed. Alternatively, the results inform us of when a spacetime can be singularity-free. This theorem provides a decisive observational difference between singular and non-singular, globally hyperbolic, open cosmological models.
متن کاملA Singularity Theorem for Twistor Spinors
We study spin structures on orbifolds. In particular, we show that if the singular set has codimension greater than 2, an orbifold is spin if and only if its smooth part is. On compact orbifolds, we show that any non-trivial twistor spinor admits at most one zero which is singular unless the orbifold is conformally equivalent to a round sphere. We show the sharpness of our results through examp...
