The Global Existence Problem in General Relativity
نویسنده
چکیده
We survey some known facts and open questions concerning the global properties of 3+1 dimensional space–times containing a compact Cauchy surface. We consider space–times with an l–dimensional Lie algebra of space–like Killing fields. For each l ≤ 3, we give some basic results and conjectures on global existence and cosmic censorship. For the case of the 3+1 dimensional Einstein equations without symmetries, a new small data global existence result is announced.

Theorems on Existence and Global Dynamics for the Einstein Equations
This article is a guide to theorems on existence and global dynamics of solutions of the Einstein equations. It draws attention to open questions in the field. The local-in-time Cauchy problem, which is relatively well understood, is surveyed. Global results for solutions with various types of symmetry are discussed. A selection of results from Newtonian theory and special relativity that offer...
متن کاملExistence and blow-up of solution of Cauchy problem for the sixth order damped Boussinesq equation
In this paper, we consider the existence and uniqueness of the global solution for the sixth-order damped Boussinesq equation. Moreover, the finite-time blow-up of the solution for the equation is investigated by the concavity method.
متن کاملBulk Viscous Bianchi Type VI0 Cosmological Model in the Self-creation Theory of Gravitation and in the General Theory of Relativity
In the second self-creation theory of gravitation and in the general theory of relativity, Bianchi type VI0 cosmological model in the presence of viscous fluid is studied. An exact solution of the field equations is given by considering the cosmological model yields a constant decelerations parameter q=constant and the coefficients of the metric are taken as A(t)=[c1t+c<su...
متن کاملN ov 2 00 6 Global existence for the spherically symmetric
We prove a new global existence result for the asymptotically flat, spherically symmetric Einstein-Vlasov system which describes in the framework of general relativity an ensemble of particles which interact by gravity. The data are such that initially all the particles are moving radially outward and that this property can be bootstrapped. The resulting non-vacuum spacetime is future geodesica...
متن کاملLocal and global existence theorems for the Einstein equations
This article is a guide to the literature on existence theorems for the Einstein equations which also draws attention to open problems in the field. The local in time Cauchy problem, which is relatively well understood, is treated first. Next global results for solutions with symmetry are discussed. A selection of results from Newtonian theory and special relativity which offer useful compariso...
