On lightlike hypersurfaces of a GRW space-time

Tae Ho Kang

University of Ulsan

Abstract

We provide a study of lightlike hypersurfaces of a generalized Robertson-Walker (GRW) space-time. In particular, we investigate lightlike hypersurfaces with curvature invariance, parallel second fundamental forms, totally umbilical second fundamental forms, null sectional curvatures and null Ricci curvatures, respectively.

Keywords: lightlike hypersurface, spacelike slice, generalized Robertson-Walker space-times, curvature invariance, totally umbilical second fundamental form, null sectional curvature, null Ricci curvature
