Transformations of Robertson-Walker spacetimes preserving separation zero (Q793371): Difference between revisions

\textit{A. D. Alexandrov} [Can. J. Math. 19, 1119-1128 (1967; Zbl 0173.246)] proved that bijections of Minkowski space-time which preserve in both directions pairs of events connected by unreflected light signals are essentially Lorentz transformations. In this paper the author classifies the corresponding transformations for Robertson-Walker space- times in each of the cases \(c>0\), \(c=0\) and \(c<0 (c=curvature)\).
