Future causal geodesic completeness conjecture for symmetric cosmological spacetimes
Future causal geodesic completeness conjecture for symmetric cosmological spacetimes
Let be the maximal Cauchy development of -symmetric or surface-symmetric initial data in the vacuum or with Vlasov matter and with . Assume is non-flat. Denote by the area of the orbits of symmetry and orient by . Future causal completeness conjecture. Then is future causally complete. This conjecture extends known future geodesic-completeness results for Gowdy spacetimes, for small data in the surface-symmetric case, and for . The general case for non-flat -symmetric and surface-symmetric spacetimes remains open.
