    Creator:
    Hickethier, Don
    Abstract:
    The degenerate nature of the metric on null hypersurfaces creates many difficulties when attempting to define a covariant derivative on null submanifolds. This dissertation investigates these challenges and provides a technique for defining a connection on null hypersurfaces in some cases. Recent approaches using decomposition to define a covariant derivative...
