Abstract: Chru'sciel, Isenberg, and Pollack constructed a class of vacuum cosmological spacetimes that do not admit Cauchy surfaces with constant mean curvature. We prove that, for sufficiently large values of the gluing parameter, these examples are both future and past null geodesically incomplete. The authors are honored to dedicate this paper to Robert Bartnik on the occasion of his 60th birthday.

Review text

In a previous paper [Commun. Math. Phys. 257, No. 1, 29--42 (2005; Zbl 1080.83002)], \textit{P. T. Chruściel} et al. generated initial data for the Einstein equations using a gluing technique. In this paper it is shown that for sufficiently large values of the gluing parameter the space-times are both future and past null geodesically incomplete.
