Generalized strong curvature singularities and weak cosmic censorship in cosmological space-times

This paper is a further development of the approach to weak cosmic censorship proposed by the authors in Ref. 5. We state and prove a modified version of that work's main result under significantly relaxed assumptions on the asymptotic structure of space--time. The result, which imposes strong constraints on the occurrence of naked singularities of the strong curvature type, is in particular applicable to physically realistic cosmological models.

Generalized Strong Curvature Singularities and Cosmic Censorship

A new definition of a strong curvature singularity is proposed. This definition is motivated by the definitions given by Tipler and Krolak, but is significantly different and more general. All causal geodesics terminating at these new singularities, which we call generalized strong curvature singularities, are classified into three possible types; the classification is based on certain relations between the curvature strength of the singularities and the causal structure in their neighborhood. A cosmic censorship theorem is formulated and proved which shows that only one class of generalized strong curvature singularities, corresponding to a single type of geodesics according to our classification, can be naked. Implications of this result for the cosmic censorship hypothesis are indicated.

Quantum Principal Fiber Bundles: Topological Aspects

We introduce the notion of locally trivial quantum principal bundles. The base space and total space are compact quantum spaces (unital $C^{\star}$-algebras), the structure group is a compact matrix quantum group. We prove that a quantum bundle admits sections if and only if it is trivial. Using a quantum version of Čech cocycles, we obtain a reconstruction theorem for quantum principal bundles. The classification of bundles over a given quantum space as a base space is reduced to the corresponding problem, but with an ordinary classical group playing the role of structure group. Some explicit examples are considered.
