No-horizon theorem for spacetimes with spacelike G1 isometry groups
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider four-dimensional spacetimes (M,g) which obey the Einstein equations G = T, and admit a global spacelike G1 = R isometry group. By means of dimensional reduction and local analyis on the reduced (2 + 1) spacetime, we obtain a sufficient condition on T which guarantees that (M,g) cannot contain apparent horizons. Given any (3 + 1) spacetime with spacelike translational isometry, the no-horizon condition can be readily tested without the need for dimensional reduction. This provides thus a useful and encompassing apparent horizon test for G1-symmetric spacetimes. We argue that this adds further evidence towards the validity of the hoop conjecture, and signals possible violations of strong cosmic censorship. Submitted to: Class. Quantum Grav.

متن کاملTowards a classification of static electrovacuum spacetimes containing an asymptotically flat spacelike hypersurface with compact interior
We show that static electrovacuum black hole spacetimes containing an asymptotically flat spacelike hypersurface with compact interior and with both degenerate and non-degenerate components of the event horizon do not exist, under the supplementary hypothesis that all degenerate components of the event horizon have charges of the same sign. This extends previous uniqueness theorems of Simon and...
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 کاملUniqueness of complete spacelike hypersurfaces in generalized Robertson-Walker spacetimes
In this paper we study the uniqueness of complete noncompact spacelike hypersurfaces immersed in generalized Robertson-Walker (GRW) spacetimes. According to a suitable restriction on the higher order mean curvature and the norm of the gradient of the height function of the hypersurface, we obtain some rigidity theorems in GRW spacetimes. Besides, we establish nonparametric results on the entire...
متن کاملOn rigidity of spacetimes with a compact Cauchy horizon
There is a great variety of solutions of Einstein’s equation which contain a smooth compact Cauchy horizon. However, all of these spacetimes can be considered as being generalizations of the Taub-NUT solution. In these spacetimes, the Cauchy horizon separates the globally hyperbolic region from a region which contains closed timelike curves. It is a common feature of all of these spacetimes tha...
