Characteristic function of Robertson Walker spaces
Abstract
The time-like geodesies of Robertson-Walker spaces have recently been considered by Noerdlinger from the Lagrangian point of view. In this paper the Hamiltonian point of view is adopted, to which end the characteristic functionV of an arbitrary Robertson-Walker space is determined by integrating the differential equations which governV. Some particular examples are dealt with explicitly.
