Abstract

There are strong restrictions on the solutions of the initial value constraints of General Relativity when the spatial hypersurface is closed. In particular, closed flat space is unstable: not all solutions of the linearized constraints correspond to nearby solutions of the constraints themselves. For example, no nearby solutions whatever exist which are time symmetric. Other restrictions, which limit perturbations of non-flat closed initial solutions, are also exhibited.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
