Existence of transverse null vector bundle in a degenerate Lorentzian hypersurface

Note that $CH$ is complemented in $TH = CH \oplus SH$, with $SH$ some non-unique choice of complementary sub-bundle. Then the restricted metric on $SH$ is non-degenerate (of Riemannian signature). The …

Tensor Field Decomposition in Space time

The class of Lorentzian manifolds that is best suited for this kind of question is that of globally hyperbolic ones. Analyzing the space of solutions of a hyperbolic PDE that does not satisfy an analo …

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

This is the original Nomizu-Ozeki article: Nomizu, Katsumi; Ozeki, Hideki, The existence of complete Riemannian metrics, Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 12, 889-891 (1961). ZBL0102.16401. Applying their proof …

Lower bound for domain of exponential map on Lorentzian manifolds

In Riemannian geometry, the largest such $r$ is the injectivity radius. And there are curvature based bounds for it. To make sense of such a radius in Lorentzian geometry, you need also some reference …

Hodge decomposition in Minkowski space

Willie's answer is of course correct. But the part that I think is most interesting in the physical context is only briefly mentioned in point 3. of the last paragraph. Let me expand on that. The rel …
