No-naked-singularity conjecture for cosmological spacetimes
Let be a smooth, time-oriented, globally hyperbolic Lorentzian -dimensional spacetime with , where is a closed, connected, oriented three-manifold. Suppose satisfies the Einstein field equations
Here is the cosmological constant and is a smooth energy-momentum tensor obeying the dominant energy condition and representing physically reasonable matter and radiation content. No-naked-singularity conjecture. For an open and dense set of smooth initial data prescribed on a Cauchy hypersurface satisfying the Einstein constraint equations, the maximal globally hyperbolic development does not develop a future naked singularity; that is, any future singularity, if it forms, is not visible to any future-directed timelike curve originating from the initial hypersurface. This is a cosmological analogue of weak cosmic censorship. The supplied text gives no resolution or established range of validity, so the conjecture remains open.
