Fuchsian analysis of singularities in Gowdy spacetimes beyond analyticity
نویسنده
چکیده
Fuchsian equations provide a way of constructing large classes of spacetimes whose singularities can be described in detail. In some of the applications of this technique only the analytic case could be handled up to now. This paper develops a method of removing the undesirable hypothesis of analyticity. This is applied to the specific case of the Gowdy spacetimes in order to show that analogues of the results known in the analytic case hold in the smooth case. As far as possible the likely strengths and weaknesses of the method as applied to more general problems are

Asymptotic Behavior of Geodesics in Gowdy Spacetimes
Recent work by the authors led to the development of a mathematical theory dealing with 'second– order hyperbolic Fuchsian systems', as we call them. In the present paper, we adopt a physical standpoint and discuss the implications of this theory which provides one with a new tool to tackle the Einstein equations of general relativity (under certain symmetry assumptions). Specifically, we formu...
متن کاملOn Gowdy Vacuum Spacetimes
By Fuchsian techniques, a large family of Gowdy vacuum spacetimes have been constructed for which one has detailed control over the asymptotic behaviour. In this paper we formulate a condition on initial data yielding the same form of asymptotics.

The Gowdy spacetimes are vacuum solutions of Einstein's equations with two commuting Killing vectors having compact spacelike orbits with T 3 , S 2 × S 1 or S 3 topology. In the case of T 3 topology, Kichenassamy and Rendall have found a family of singular solutions which are asymptotically velocity dominated by construction. In the case when the velocity is between zero and one, the solutions ...
متن کاملFuchsian methods and spacetime singularities
Fuchsian methods and their applications to the study of the structure of spacetime singularities are surveyed. The existence question for spacetimes with compact Cauchy horizons is discussed. After some basic facts concerning Fuchsian equations have been recalled, various ways in which these equations have been applied in general relativity are described. Possible future applications are indica...
متن کاملAcausality in Gowdy spacetimes
We present a parametrization of T 3 and S ×S2 Gowdy cosmological models which allows us to study both types of topologies simultaneously. We show that there exists a coordinate system in which the general solution of the linear polarized special case (with both topologies) has exactly the same functional dependence. This unified parametrization is used to investigate the existence of Cauchy hor...
