Structure of malicious singularities

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We investigate spacetimes with their singular boundaries as noncommutative spaces. Such a space is defined by a noncommutative algebra on a transformation groupoid Gamma=EimesG, where E is the total space of the frame bundle over spacetime with its singular boundary, and G its structural group. There is a bijective correspondence between unitary representations of the groupoid Gamma and the systems of imprimitivity of the group G. This allows us to apply the Mackey theorem, and deduce from it some information concerning singular fibres of the groupoid. A subgroup K of G, from which -- according to the Mackey theorem -- the representation is induced to the whole of G, can be regarded as measuring the "richness" of the singularity structure.
