We prove that this is the case for $n+1$ dimensional, $n \\geq 2$, {\\em simplicial} flat spacetimes with compact hyperbolic Cauchy surface. A simplicial spacetime is obtained from the Lorentz cone over a hyperbolic manifold by deformations corresponding to a simple measured foliation.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2003-07-25T11:32:48.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "constant mean curvature foliation", "simplicial flat spacetimes", "compact hyperbolic cauchy surfaces converges" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2003math......7338A" } } }
