48 results for causal holography

The notion of a causal boundary for a spacetime has been a controversial topic during the last three decades. Moreover, recently the role of the boundary in the AdS/CFT correspondence for plane waves, have stimulated its redefinition with some possible alternatives. Our aim is threefold. First, to review the different …

We study smooth {\sf traversing} vector fields vv on compact manifolds XX with boundary. A traversing vv admits a Lyapunov function f:XRf: X \to \Bbb R such that df(v)>0df(v) > 0. We show that the trajectory spaces T(v)\mathcal T(v) of {\sf traversally generic} vv-flows are {\sf Whitney stratified spaces}, and thus admit tr…
