An Invitation to Lorentzian Geometry
Müller, Olaf · Sánchez, Miguel
Original · EN
The intention of this article is to give a flavour of some global problems in General Relativity. We cover a variety of topics, some of them related to the fundamental concept of 'Cauchy hypersurfaces': (1) structure of globally hyperbolic spacetimes, (2) the relativistic initial value problem, (3) constant mean curvature surfaces, (4) singularity theorems, (5) cosmic censorship and Penrose inequality, (6) spinors and holonomy.
