abstract

The Kasner spacetime is a cosmological model of an anisotropic expanding universe without matter and is an exact solution of the Einstein vacuum equations Ric(g) = 0. It is manifestly inextendible as a Lorentzian manifold with a twice differentiable metric. In this thesis we proof that it is even inextendible as a Lorentzian manifold with merely continuous metric, which is a stronger statement. We do so by adapting the proof of the $C^0$-inextendibility of the maximal analytically extended Schwarzschild spacetime established by Jan Sbierski.

    Spacetimes whose small light-cone volume ratios deviate from the Minkowski value near a boundary cannot be extended under low-regularity and strong causality conditions.
