Let's restrict to the radial direction, so the metric can be expressed as
ds2=−(1−rS/r)dt2+(1−rS/r)−1dr2
with rS the Schwarzchild radius. Expressed in Kruskal coordinates, the metric is
ds2=4(r3S/r)e−r/rS(−dT2+dR2)
Further coordinate transformation brings the infinity into finite coordinate values:
tanτ+ρ2=T+R=√r/rS−1e(r+t)/2rS
tanτ−ρ2=T+R=√r/rS−1e(r−t)/2rS
You can verify that the ranges of τ and ρ are
τ∈(−π/2,π/2),ρ∈(−π,π)
As we know that, the spatial infinity is defined at two points: τ=0,ρ=±π. Now,I want to verify that all spacelike curves (t(r),r) parametrized by r terminate at the spatial infinity and finally, I end up with counterexamples.
Because the curve (t,r) is spacelike, its length is positive,
−(1−rS/r)(dtdr)2+(1−rS/r)−1>0⇒dtdr<(1−rS/r)−1
only considering a outgoing spacelike curve outside of the horizon. So
dt<dr1−rS/r=dr∗
Here, r∗ is the tortoise coordinate. We can assume dt=dr∗+f(r)dr. f(r) should be positive definite and not a constant function. Now, in terms of f(r), we have
tanτ+ρ2=(r/rS−1)er/rSexp[r−1S∫rr0f(r′)dr′]
tanτ−ρ2=−exp[−r−1S∫rr0f(r′)dr′]
We can thus consider the behavior of the above express at r→∞. Defintely, the first expression is +∞, but since ∫rr0f(r′)dr′ is not necessarily infinite (for example, f(r)=1/r2), the second expression is not necessarily −∞.
Therefore, we cannot conclude that all spacelike curves terminate at the spatial infinity i0 in the case of a Schwarzchild spacetime.
But all the books state the opposite. What is wrong with my calculation?
