The purpose of this work is twofold. First, within the evolutionary framework of the constraint equations, we show that the existence of a well-defined Bondi mass brings the asymptotically hyperboloidal initial data sets into a subclass whose Cauchy development guaranteed to admit a smooth boundary, by virtue of the results of Andersson and Chruściel. Second, by generalizing a recent result of Beyer and Ritchie, we show that the existence of well-defined Bondi mass and angular momentum, together with some mild restrictions on the free data, implies that the generic solutions of the parabolic-hyperbolic form of the constraint equations are completely free of logarithmic singularities. We also provide numerical evidence to show that in the vicinity of Kerr, asymptotically hyperboloidal initial data without logarithmic singularities can indeed be constructed.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":578,"journal":{"name":"General Relativity and Gravitation","volume":"57 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10714-025-03424-y.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144924646","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We suppose a homogeneous and isotropic spacetime described by the Friedman-Robertson-Walker metric, and a fiber that evolves with respect to time and is endowed with a left-invariant metric.

Grounded in quantum information theory, HM proposes the first element of reality emerging from the Big Bang singularity as a Planck-sized qubit. The model views the Big Bang as the opening of a white hole, with spacetime and matter/energy emerging from the event horizon. Using the Schwarzschild solution and the Holographic Principle, HM calculates the number of vacuum qubits needed to equalize densities, and compares this to published estimates of the observable universe’s Shannon entropy (S). With this information, HM can calculate the state of the vacuum as a function of S. Results at S=1 (t=0) and <span>(S=1.46times 10^{104})</span> bits (t=now) are presented.
