Remarks on cosmological spacetimes and constant mean curvature surfaces
Description
We give a general condition which ensures the existence of constant mean curvature (CMC) Cauchy surfaces in cosmological spacetimes. However, there is an example of a spacetime which does not satisfy this condition and does not admit any CMC Cauchy surfaces. We discuss conditions under which CMC surfaces may exist. (orig.)
