Abstract: We study the asymptotic behavior of convex Cauchy hypersurfaces on maximal globally hyperbolic spatially compact space-times of constant curvature. We generalise the result of [11] to the (2+1) de Sitter and anti de Sitter cases. We prove that in these cases the level sets of quasi-concave times converge in the Gromov equivariant topology, when time goes to 0, to a real tree. Moreover, this limit does not depend on the choice of the time function. We also consider the problem of asymptotic behavior in the flat (n+1) dimensional case. We prove that the level sets of quasi-concave times converge in the Gromov equivariant topology, when time goes to 0, to a CAT (0) metric space. Moreover, this limit does not depend on the choice of the time function.
