Bertotti-Robinson spacetime

ID: bertotti-robinson-spacetime

The simply connected Bertotti-Robinson geometry is the product of the universal cover of two-dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetime and a two-sphere with equal radius . In metric signature ,
Its radial Penrose diagram is an infinite conformal strip of two-dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetime. The metric tensor is a patch of it, with . Its Killing vector field extends across alternating degenerate Killing horizons . Both factors are geodesically complete, giving a maximal analytic extension of this patch without periodic time identification.
