Differential Form Approach for Stationary Axisymmetric Maxwell Fields in General Relativity
نویسنده
چکیده
A formulation for stationary axisymmetric electromagnetic fields in general relativity is derived by casting them into the form of an anisotropic fluid. Several simplifications of the formalism are carried out in order to analyze different features of the fields, such as the derivation of electromagnetic sources for the Maxwell field in the form of thin layers, construction of new solutions, and generation techniques.

Stationary and Axisymmetric Solutions of Higher-Dimensional General Relativity
We study stationary and axisymmetric solutions of General Relativity, i.e. pure gravity, in four or higher dimensions. D-dimensional stationary and axisymmetric solutions are defined as having D−2 commuting Killing vector fields. We derive a canonical form of the metric for such solutions that effectively reduces the Einstein equations to a differential equation on an axisymmetric D − 2 by D − ...
متن کاملThe First Law of Black Hole Mechanics
A simple proof of a strengthened form of the first law of black hole mechanics is presented. The proof is based directly upon the Hamiltonian formulation of general relativity, and it shows that the the first law variational formula holds for arbitrary nonsingular, asymptotically flat perturbations of a stationary, axisymmetric black hole, not merely for perturbations to other stationary, axisy...
متن کاملGenerating rotating fields in general relativity
I present a new method to generate rotating solutions of the Einstein–Maxwell equations from static solutions, give several examples of its application, and discuss its general properties. When dealing with exact stationary solutions of the Einstein equations, one sometimes stumbles on the questions, quite easy to ask, but rather difficult to answer: Given some static solution, what is the fami...
متن کاملMagnetic Surfaces in Stationary Axisymmetric General Relativity
In this paper a new method is derived for constructing electromagnetic surface sources for stationary axisymmetric electrovac spacetimes endowed with non-smooth or even discontinuous Ernst potentials. This can be viewed as a generalization of some classical potential theory results, since lack of continuity of the potential is related to dipole density and lack of smoothness, to monopole densit...
متن کاملDirect generation of spinning Einstein–Maxwell fields from static fields
I present a new method to generate rotating solutions of the Einstein– Maxwell equations from static solutions, and briefly discuss its general properties. The four–dimensional stationary Einstein–Maxwell equations are well–known to be invariant under an SU(2,1) group of transformations [1]. Applied to asymptotically flat solutions, these transformations map monopole solutions into monopole sol...
