Degeneracy of the b-boundary in General Relativity
نویسنده
چکیده
The b-boundary construction by B. Schmidt is a general way of providing a boundary to a manifold with connection [12]. It has been shown to have undesirable topological properties however. C. J. S. Clarke gave a result showing that for space-times, non-Hausdorffness is to be expected in general [3], but the argument contains some errors. We show that under somewhat different conditions on the curvature, the b-boundary will be non-Hausdorff, and illustrate the degeneracy by applying the conditions to some well known exact solutions of general relativity.

Bulk 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 کاملOn Imprisoned Curves and b-length in General Relativity
This paper is concerned with two themes: imprisoned curves and the b-length functional. In an earlier paper by the author, it was claimed that an endless incomplete curve partially imprisoned in a compact set admits an endless null geodesic cluster curve. Unfortunately, the proof was flawed. We give an outline of the problem and remedy the situation by providing a proof by different methods. Ne...
متن کاملAn ${cal O}(h^{8})$ optimal B-spline collocation for solving higher order boundary value problems
As we know the approximation solution of seventh order two points boundary value problems based on B-spline of degree eight has only ${cal O}(h^{2})$ accuracy and this approximation is non-optimal. In this work, we obtain an optimal spline collocation method for solving the general nonlinear seventh order two points boundary value problems. The ${cal O}(h^{8})$ convergence analysis, mainly base...
متن کاملBV-BFV approach to general relativity: Einstein-Hilbert action
The present paper shows that general relativity in the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner formalism admits a BV-BFV formulation. More precisely, for any d + 1 � 2 (pseudo-) Riemannian manifold M with spacelike or time-like boundary components, the BV data on the bulk induces compatible BFV data on the boundary. As a byproduct, the usual canonical formulation of general relativity is recovered in a straightf...
متن کاملTilted Bianchi Type V Bulk Viscous Cosmological Models in General Relativity
A considerable interest has been shown to the study of physical properties of spacetimes which are conformal to certain well known gravitational fields. The general theory of relativity is believed by a number of unknown functions the ten components of g . Hence there is a little hope of finding physically interesting results without making reduction in their number. In conformally flat spaceti...
