Induced Riemannian structures on null hypersurfaces
Induced Riemannian structures on null hypersurfaces
Given a null hypersurface L of a Lorentzian manifold, we construct a Riemannian metric on it from a fixed transverse vector field ζ. We study the relationship between the ambient Lorentzian manifold, the Riemannian manifold and the vector field ζ. As an application, we prove some new results on null …
