6.1 Geodesic Congruences
De_nition A congruence is a family of curves such that precisely one
curve of the family passes through each point. It is a geodesic congruence
if the curves are geodesics.
The equations of a geodesic congruence may be written as x_ = x_ (y_; _)
where the parameters y_; _ = 0; 1; 2 label the geodesic and _ is an a_ne
parameter on the geodesic, i.e.
t =
d
d_
=
@x_
@_
@_ (6.1)
is the tangent to the geodesics such that t _ Dt_ = 0. Since the parameter
_ is a_ne, t2 _ 1 for timelike geodesics (while t2 _ 0 for null geodesics).
The vectors
__ =
d
dy_ =
@x_
@y_ @_ (6.2)
may be considered as a basis of `displacement' vectors across the congruence:

A geodesic nearby some _ducial geodesic may now be speci_ed by a
displacement vector _, but this speci_cation is not unique because _0 = _+at
(a = constant) is a displacement vector to the same geodesic.

For timelike geodesics we can remove this ambiguity by requiring _ to be
orthogonal to t, i.e.
_ _ t = 0 (6.8)
Strictly, speaking we can only make such a choice at a given value of _, by
choosing the origin of _ across the congruence. However

_ _ @t2 = 0 ; (6.11)
since t2 _ 1 for timelike congruences, so if _ _ t is chosen to vanish at one
value of _ it will do so for all _.
For null congruences the condition _ _ t = 0 is not su_cient to eliminate
the ambiguity in the choice of _ because
_0 _ t = (_ + at) _ t = _ _ t + at _ t (6.12)
= _ _ t (6.13)
when t2 = 0, which means that _0 _ t = 0 whenever _ _ t = 0. The problem
is that the 3-dim space of vectors orthogonal to t now includes t itself, so
the displacement vectors _ orthogonal to t specify only a two-parameter
family of geodesics. Displacement vectors to the other null geodesics in the
congruence have a component in the direction of a vector n that is not
103
orthogonal to t. The choice of n is otherwise arbitrary (it is analogous to
the choice of gauge in electrodynamics), but it is convenient to choose it
such that
n2 = 0; n _ t = 1 (6.14)
e.g. if t is tangent to an outgoing radial null geodesic, then n is tangent to
an ingoing one.

Consistency of the choice of n requires that n2 and n _ t be independent of
_, which is satis_ed if
t _Dn_ = 0 (6.15)
i.e. we choose n to be parallely-transported along the geodesics.
Having made a choice of the vector n, we may now uniquely specify a twoparameter
subset of geodesics of a null geodesic congruence by displacement
vectors _ orthogonal to t by requiring them to also satisfy
_ _ n = 0 (6.16)
The vectors _ now span a two-dimensional subspace, T?, of the tangent
space, that is orthogonal to both t and n, i.e. P_ = _, where
P_
_ = __
_ + n_t_ + t_n_ (6.17)

Proposition The tangents t are normal to a family of null hypersurfaces i_ ^! = 0.

Proof If ^! = 0, then
0 = t[_ ^!__] _ t[_
^B
__] (6.26)
= t[_B__] (by Lemma) (6.27)
= t[_D_t_] (6.28)
so t is normal to a family of hypersurfaces by Frobenius' theorem. (In this
case we can take t = l).
Conversely, if t is normal to a family of null hypersurfaces, then Frobenius'
theorem implies t[_D_t_] = 0. Then, reversing the previous steps we
_nd that,
0 = t[_ ^!__] =
1

(t_ ^!__ + t_ ^!__ + t_ ^!__) (6.29)
Contract with n. Since n _ t = 1 and n^! = ^!n = 0 (because ^! contains
the projection operator P), we deduce that ^! = 0.
If ^! = 0 we have a family of null hypersurfaces. The family is parameterized
by the displacement along n

6.1.1 Expansion and Shear
Two linearly independent vectors _(1) and _(2) orthogonal to n and t determine
an area element of T?. The shear ^_ determines the change of shape of
this area element as _ increases. The magnitude of the area element de_ned
by _(1) and _(2) is

provided the spacetime metric solves Einstein's equations G__ = 8_GT__ and T__ satis_es
the weak energy condition.
107
Proof ^_2 _ 0 because the metric in the orthogonal subspace T? (to l and
n) is positive de_nite. ^!2 _ 0 also, but this comes in with wrong sign,
however ^! = 0 for a hypersurface. Thus Raychaudhuri's equation implies

Corollary If _ = _0 < 0 at some point p on a null generator of a null hypersurface,
then _ ! 1 along within an a_ne length 2= j_0j.
Proof Let _ be the a_ne parameter, with _ = 0 at p. Now

If _0 < 0 the right-hand-side ! 1 when _ = 2= j_0j, so _ ! 1 within
that a_ne length.
Interpretation When _ < 0 neighboring geodesics are converging. The
attractive nature of gravitation (weak energy condition) then implies that
they must continue to converge to a focus or a caustic.
Proposition If N is a Killing horizon then ^B__ = 0 and

Proof Let _ be the Killing vector s.t. _ = fl (l _ Dl = 0) on N for some
non-zero function f. Then
