Classification of Generalized Symmetries for the Vacuum Einstein Equations
A generalized symmetry of a system of differential equations is an infinitesimal transformation depending locally upon the fields and their derivatives which carries solutions to solutions. We classify all generalized symmetries of the vacuum Einstein equations in four spacetime dimensions. To begin, we analyze symmetries that can be built from the metric, curvature, and covariant derivatives o...
متن کاملNo new symmetries of the vacuum Einstein equations.
In this note we examine some recently proposed solutions of the linearized vacuum Einstein equations. We show that such solutions are not symmetries of the Einstein equations, because of a crucial integrability condition. PACS numbers: 04.20.Jb, 04.20.Cv There is a conjecture that if a non-linear system of partial differential equations [PDEs] possesses at least one non-trivial symmetry, then t...
متن کاملRecursion operators for vacuum Einstein equations with symmetries
Direct and inverse recursion operator is derived for the vacuum Einstein equations for metrics with two commuting Killing vectors that are orthogonal to a foliation by 2-dimensional leaves.
متن کاملA local characteristic problem for the Einstein vacuum equations
In this work we present a new local existence result for a class of characteristic problems of the vacuum Einstein equations, based on the approach suggested in [Ch-Kl] and in [Kl-Ni]. The existence result is proved without using the harmonic gauge and has a more geometric flavour. This result is also an important ingredient for the proof of a global characteristic result due to G.Caciotta and ...
متن کاملSymmetries of the Einstein equations.
Generalized symmetries of the Einstein equations are infinitesimal transformations of the spacetime metric that formally map solutions of the Einstein equations to other solutions. The infinitesimal generators of these symmetries are assumed to be local, i.e., at a given spacetime point they are functions of the metric and an arbitrary but finite number of derivatives of the metric at the point...
