Lorentzian geometry is the geometry of Minkowski spacetime, hence essentially of a Euclidean space, but equipped not with the standard Euclidean Riemannian metric of signature $(+,+,+,…,+)$ (which yields Euclidean geometry) but with the pseudo-Riemannian metric of signature $(−,+,+,…,+).$

Space of spacelike embeddings as infinite-dimensional manifold

Consider a four-dimensional Lorentzian manifold $(\mathcal{M},g)$ and a $3$-dimensional compact manifold $\Sigma$, such that there exists a spacelike embedding $i:\Sigma\to\mathcal{M}$ so that $h:=i^{ …

Is any globally-hyperbolic manifold conformally equivalent to one with complete slices?

Let $(M,g)$ be a globally-hyperbolic Lorentzian manifold. By the seminal work of Geroch and Bernal-Sánchez, we know that $$M=\mathbb{R}\times\Sigma,\,\,\,\quad g=-\beta^{2}dt^{2}+h_{t}$$ where $\Sigma …
