New proof shows FLRW spacetimes can't be extended smoothly in certain axisymmetric cases.
Warped-product black hole spacetimes are -inextendible.
The paper proves that certain FLRW spacetimes cannot be extended past the big bang.
The existence, established over the past number of years and supporting earlier work of Ori [14], of physically relevant black hole spacetimes that admit metric extensions beyond the future Cauchy horizon, while being -inextendible, has focused attention on fundamental issues concerning the strong cosmic cen…
Study shows nonextendibility of warped spacelike singularities in specific spacetimes.
The study of low regularity (in-)extendibility of Lorentzian manifolds is motivated by the question whether a given solution to the Einstein equations can be extended (or is maximal) as a weak solution. In this paper we show that a timelike complete and globally hyperbolic Lorentzian manifold is -inextendible. For…
The maximal analytic Schwarzschild spacetime is manifestly inextendible as a Lorentzian manifold with a twice continuously differentiable metric. In this paper, we prove the stronger statement that it is even inextendible as a Lorentzian manifold with a continuous metric. To capture the obstruction to continuous extens…
We initiate a series of works where we study the interior of dynamical rotating vacuum black holes without symmetry. In the present paper, we take up the problem starting from appropriate Cauchy data for the Einstein vacuum equations defined on a hypersurface already within the black hole interior, representing the exp…
