Stability between foliations in general relativity

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: The aim of this paper is to study foliations that remain invariant by parallel transports along the integral curves of vector fields of another foliations. According to this idea, we define a new concept of stability between foliations. A particular case of stability (called regular stability) is studied, giving a useful characterization in terms of the Riemann curvature tensor. This characterization allows us to prove that there are no regularly self-stable foliations of dimension greater than 1 in Schwarzschild and Robertson-Walker space-times. Finally, we study the existence of regularly self-stable foliations in other space-times, like pp-wave space-times.
