Causality violation and singularities
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that singularities necessarily occur when a boundary of causality violating set exists in a space-time under the physically suitable assumptions except the global causality condition in the Hawking-Penrose singularity theorems. Instead of the global causality condition, we impose some restrictions on the causality violating sets to show the occurrence of singularities.

Strong Cosmic Censorship and Causality Violation
We investigate the instability of the Cauchy horizon caused by causality violation in the compact vacuum universe with the topology B × S × R, which Moncrief and Isenberg considered. We show that if the occurrence of curvature singularities are restricted to the boundary of causality violating region, the whole segments of the boundary become curvature singularities. This implies that the stron...
متن کاملun 2 00 8 Chronological spacetimes without lightlike lines are stably causal
The statement of the title is proved. It implies that under physically reasonable conditions, spacetimes which are free from singularities are necessarily stably causal and hence admit a time function. Read as a singularity theorem it states that if there is some form of causality violation on spacetime then either it is the worst possible, namely violation of chronology, or there is a singular...
متن کاملChronology Protection and Non-Naked Singularity
We test the chronology protection conjecture in classical general relativity by investigating finitely vicious space-times. First we present singularity theorems in finitely vicious space-times by imposing some restrictions on the chronology violating sets. In the theorems we can refer to the location of an occurring singularity and do not assume any asymptotic conditions such as the existence ...

In this comment we discuss big rip singularities occurring in typical phantom models by violation of the weak energy condition. After that, we compare them with future late-time singularities arising in models where the scale factor ends in a constant value and there is no violation of the strong energy condition. In phantom models the equation of state is well defined along the whole evolution...
