Constant mean curvature foliations of simplicial flat spacetimes (Q871726)

The author is considering the result by \textit{R. Benedetti} and \textit{E. Guadagnini} [Nucl Phys., B 613, No. 1, 1--2, 330--352 (2001; Zbl 0970.83039)], concerning constant mean curvature foliations in a \(2+1\) dimensional spacetime with compact hyperbolic Cauchy surfaces. One proves that this is the case for \(n+1\) dimensional, \(n \geq 2\), simplicial flat spacetime with compact hyperbolic Cauchy surface. A simplicial spacetime is obtained from the Lorentz cone over a hyperbolic manifold by deformations corresponding to a simple measured foliation.
