Vacuum spacetimes with a spacelike, hypersurface-orthogonal Killing vector: reduced equations in a canonical frame
The Newman-Penrose equations for spacetimes having one spacelike Killing vector are reduced – in a geometrically defined “canonical frame” – to a minimal set, and its differential structure is studied. Expressions for the frame vectors in an arbitrary coordinate basis are given, and coordinate-independent choices of the metric functions are suggested which make the components of the Ricci tenso...
متن کاملTowards a classification of static electrovacuum spacetimes containing an asymptotically flat spacelike hypersurface with compact interior
We show that static electrovacuum black hole spacetimes containing an asymptotically flat spacelike hypersurface with compact interior and with both degenerate and non-degenerate components of the event horizon do not exist, under the supplementary hypothesis that all degenerate components of the event horizon have charges of the same sign. This extends previous uniqueness theorems of Simon and...
متن کاملKilling Vector Fields, Maxwell Equations and Lorentzian Spacetimes
In this paper we first analyze the structure of Maxwell equations in a Lorentzian spacetime when the potential is A = eK, i.e., proportional to a 1-form K physically equivalent Killing vector field. We show that A necessarily obeys the Lorenz gauge δA = 0. Moreover we determine the form of the current associated with this potential showing that it is of a superconducting type, i.e., proportiona...
متن کاملBinary black hole spacetimes with a helical Killing vector
Binary black hole spacetimes with a helical Killing vector, which are discussed as an approximation for the early stage of a binary system, are studied in a projection formalism. In this setting the four dimensional Einstein equations are equivalent to a three dimensional gravitational theory with a SL(2, C)/SO(1, 1) sigma model as the material source. The sigma model is determined by a complex...
متن کاملSolution generating in 5D Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton gravity and derivation of dipole black ring solutions
We consider 5D Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton (EMd) gravity in spacetimes with three commuting Killing vectors: one timelike and two spacelike Killing vectors, one of which is hypersurface-orthogonal. Assuming a special ansatz for the Maxwell field we show that the 2-dimensional reduced EMd equations are completely integrable. We also develop a solution generating method for explicit construction of ...
