The inverse F-curvature flow in ARW spaces

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

We consider the so-called inverse FF-curvature flow (IFCF) x˙=−F−1ν\dot x = -F^{-1}ν in ARW spaces, i.e. in Lorentzian manifolds with a special future singularity. Here, FF denotes a curvature function of class (K∗)(K^*), which is homogenous of degree one, e.g. the nn-th root of the Gaussian curvature, and νν the past directed normal. We prove existence of the IFCF for all times and convergence of the rescaled scalar solution in C∞(S0)C^{\infty}(S_0) to a smooth function. Using the rescaled IFCF we maintain a transition from big crunch to big bang into a mirrored spacetime.
