Hypersurface data: general properties and Birkhoff theorem in spherical symmetry (Q2218610)

The hypersurface data and metric hypersurface data are studied and their existence is also proved. The properties of submanifolds in ambient pseudo-Riemannian space concerning the connection are studied. Necessary and sufficient condition for embedded hypersurface endowed with smooth transversal vector field is established. Also, the gauge parameters concerning gauge theories are calculated and interpreted. Furthermore, the metric hypersurface connection is introduced and certain theorems on metric hypersurface data concerning such connection are proved. Metric hypersurface curvature is defined and properties of the curvature of the metric hypersurface connection are obtained. Finally, some theorems on the constraint equations of Einstein field equations in the vacuum case and Lorentzian ambient signature and the Birkhoff theorem at abstract hypersurface data are deduced.
