Constant scalar curvature hypersurfaces in (3+1)-dimensional GHMC Minkowski spacetimes

Abstract: Abstract:We prove that every (3 + 1)-dimensional flat GHMC Minkowski spacetime which is not a translation spacetime or a Misner spacetime carries a unique foliation by spacelike hypersurfaces of constant scalar curvature. In otherwords, we prove that every such spacetime carries a unique time function with isochrones of constant scalar curvature. Furthermore, this time function is a smooth submersion.

“…In fact an example has been pointed out in [BF17] of an affine deformation of a uniform lattice in SO(3, 1) which preserve no hypersurface in R 3,1 with constant extrinsic curvature. By contrast in [Smi17] it has been proved that any affine deformation of a uniform lattice in SO(3, 1) preserves exactly one hypersurface of constant scalar curvature.…”
