Abstract
The paper aims at deriving a curvature form of the famous Raychaudhuri equation (RE) and the associated criteria for focusing of a hyper-surface orthogonal congruence of time-like geodesic. Moreover, the paper identifies a transformation of variable related to the metric scalar of the hyper-surface which converts the first order RE into a second order differential equation that resembles an equation of a Harmonic oscillator and also gives a first integral that yields the analytic solution of the RE and Lagrangian of the dynamical system representing the congruence.
本文旨在推导著名的雷乔杜里方程（Raychaudhuri equation，RE）的曲率形式，以及类时间测地线的超曲面正交全等聚焦的相关标准。此外，论文还确定了一种与超曲面度量标量相关的变量变换，它将一阶 RE 转换为类似谐振子方程的二阶微分方程，并给出了一阶积分，从而得到 RE 的解析解和代表全等的动力学系统的拉格朗日。
