Cumulative Dragging - An Intrinsic Characteristic of Stationary Spacetime
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Cumulative Drag Index defined recently by Prasanna [1] has been generalised to include the centrifugal acceleration. We have studied the behaviour of the drag index in the Kerr metric as well as in the linearized Kerr and its Newtonian approximations. This analysis suggests that the drag index characterises an intrinsic property of spacetime with rotation. PACS: 04.20.Cv, 04.20.Ex, 04.40.Dg

Cumulative Dragging - An Intrinsic Characteristic of Stationary Axisymmetric Spacetime
The Cumulative Drag Index defined recently by Prasanna [1] has been generalised to include the centrifugal acceleration. We have studied the behaviour of the drag index for the Kerr metric and the Neugebauer-Meinel metric representing a self-gravitating rotating disk and their Newtonian approximations. The similarity of the behaviour of the index for a given set of parameters both in the full a...
متن کاملInertial Frame Dragging and Mach's Principle in General Relativity
We define a new parameter 'cumulative drag index' for a particle in circular orbit in a stationary, axisymmetric gravitational field and study its behaviour in the two well known solutions of general relativity viz., the Kerr spacetime and the Gödel spacetime, wherein the inertial frame dragging has an important role. As it shows similar behaviour for both co and counter rotating particles, it ...

We present a general study about the relation between the vorticity tensor and the Poynting vector of the electromagnetic field for axially symmetric stationary electrovacuum metrics. The obtained expressions allow to understand the role of the Poynting vector in the dragging of inertial frames. The particular case of the rotating massive charged magnetic dipole is analyzed in detail. In additi...
