Stationary and Axisymmetric Perfect Fluids with one Conformal Killing Vector
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the stationary and axisymmetric non-convective differentially rotating perfect-fluid solutions of Einstein’s field equations admitting one conformal symmetry. We analyse the two inequivalent Lie algebras not exhaustively considered in [1] and show that the general solution for each Lie algebra depends on one arbitrary function of one of the coordinates while a set of three ordinary differential equations for four unknowns remains to be solved. The conformal Killing vector of these solutions is necessarily homothetic. We summarize in a table all the possible solutions for all the allowed Lie algebras and also add a corrigendum to an erroneous statement in [1] concerning the differentially rotating character of one of the solutions presented. ∗Also at Laboratori de F́ısica Matemàtica, IEC, Barcelona.

Stationary and Axisymmetric Perfect-Fluid Solutions with Conformal Motion
Stationary and axisymmetric perfect-fluid metrics are studied under the assumption of the existence of a conformal Killing vector field and in the general case of differential rotation. The possible Lie algebras for the conformal group and corresponding canonical line-elements are explicitly given. It turns out that only four different cases appear, the abelian and other three called I, II and ...

Axisymmetric spacetimes with a conformal symmetry are studied and it is shown that, if there is no further conformal symmetry, the axial Killing vector and the conformal Killing vector must commute. As a direct consequence, in con-formally stationary and axisymmetric spacetimes, no restriction is made by assuming that the axial symmetry and the conformal timelike symmetry commute. Furthermore, ...
متن کاملEllipsoidal shapes in general relativity: general definitions and an application
A generalization of the notion of ellipsoids to curved Riemannian spaces is given and its possible use to describe the shapes of rotating bodies in general relativity is considered. As an illustrative example, stationary, axisymmetric perfect-fluid spacetimes with a so-called confocal inside ellipsoidal symmetry are investigated in detail under the assumption that the 4-velocity of the fluid is...
متن کاملEntropies of Rotating Charged Black Holes from Conformal Field Theory at Killing Horizons
The covariant phase technique is used to compute the constraint algebra of the stationary axisymmetric charged black hole. A standard Virasoro subalgebra with corresponding central charge is constructed at a Killing horizon with Carlip’s boundary conditions. For the Kerr-Newman black hole and the Kerr-Newman-Ads black hole, the density of states determined by conformal fields theory methods yie...
متن کاملSpacetimes admitting quasi-conformal curvature tensor
The object of the present paper is to study spacetimes admitting quasi-conformal curvature tensor. At first we prove that a quasi-conformally flat spacetime is Einstein and hence it is of constant curvature and the energy momentum tensor of such a spacetime satisfying Einstein's field equation with cosmological constant is covariant constant. Next, we prove that if the perfect flui...
