Singularity theorems and their consequences

JMM Senovilla - General Relativity and Gravitation, 1998 - Springer
A detailed study of the singularity theorems is presented. I discuss the plausibility and
reasonability of their hypotheses, the applicability and implications of the theorems, as well …

Past-completeness of inflationary spacetimes

JE Lesnefsky, DA Easson, PCW Davies - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We discuss the question of whether or not inflationary spacetimes can be geodesically
complete in the infinite past. Geodesic completeness is a necessary condition for averting an …

On the geometry of generalized Robertson-Walker spacetimes: geodesics

M Sánchez - General Relativity and Gravitation, 1998 - Springer
The geometry and, especially, the geodesics of a class of spacetimes generalizing
Robertson-Walker ones (without any assumption on the fiber) is studied, under a global …

Characterizations of Lorentzian manifolds

SK Chaubey, YJ Suh - Journal of Mathematical Physics, 2022 - pubs.aip.org
The focus of this paper is to characterize the Lorentzian manifolds equipped with a semi-
symmetric non-metric ρ-connection [briefly,(M,∇ ̃)]. The conditions for a Lorentzian manifold …

Doubly warped products

B Ünal - Differential Geometry and Its Applications, 2001 - Elsevier
In this paper we study geodesic completeness of Riemannian doubly warped products and
Lorentzian doubly warped products. We give necessary conditions for generalized …

Curvature of multiply warped products

F Dobarro, B Ünal - Journal of Geometry and Physics, 2005 - Elsevier
In this paper, we study Ricci-flat and Einstein–Lorentzian multiply warped products. We also
consider the case of having constant scalar curvatures for this class of warped products …

On the geometry of generalized Robertson-Walker spacetimes: curvature and Killing fields

M Sánchez - Journal of geometry and Physics, 1999 - Elsevier
The curvature and Killing vector fields of a class of spacetimes generalizing Robertson-
Walker ones (without any assumption on the fiber) is widely studied. Such spacetimes …

Multiply warped products

B Ünal - Journal of Geometry and Physics, 2000 - Elsevier
In this paper, we first state covariant derivative formulas for multiply warped products and
consider the geodesic equations for these spaces. Then we state some basic facts about …

Completeness of compact Lorentzian manifolds with abelian holonomy

T Leistner, D Schliebner - Mathematische Annalen, 2016 - Springer
We address the problem of finding conditions under which a compact Lorentzian manifold is
geodesically complete, a property, which always holds for compact Riemannian manifolds. It …

On the geometry of static spacetimes

M Sánchez - Nonlinear Analysis: Theory, Methods & Applications, 2005 - Elsevier
We review geometrical properties of a static spacetime (M, g), including geodesic
completeness, causality, standard splittings, compact M, closed geodesics and geodesic …
