Estimates for the Maxwell field near the spatial and null infinity of the Schwarzschild spacetime
نویسنده
چکیده
It is shown how the gauge of the “regular finite initial value problem at spacelike infinity” can be used to construct a certain type of estimates for the Maxwell field propagating on a Schwarzschild background. These estimates are constructed with the objective of obtaining information about the smoothness near spacelike and null infinity of a wide class of solutions to the Maxwell equations.

The Maxwell field on the Schwarzschild spacetime: behaviour near spatial infinity
The behaviour of the Maxwell field near one of the spatial infinities of the Schwarzschild solution is analysed by means of the transport equations implied by the Maxwell equations on the cylinder at spatial infinity. Initial data for the Maxwell equations will be assumed to be expandable in terms of powers of a coordinate ρ measuring the geodesic distance to spatial infinity (in the conformal ...
متن کاملRay-tracing and Interferometry in Schwarzschild Geometry
Here, we investigate the possible optical anisotropy of vacuum due to gravitational field. In doing this, we provide sufficient evidence from direct coordinate integration of the null-geodesic equations obtained from the Lagrangian method, as well as ray-tracing equations obtained from the Plebanski’s equivalent medium theory. All calculations are done for the Schwarzschild geometry, which resu...

A general solution to the vacuum Einstein equations which admits the Ashtekar isolated horizon is characterized. It is a superposition – in an exactly defined sense – of the Schwarzschild metric with a certain free data propagating tangentially to the horizon. This proves Ashtekar’s conjecture about the structure of spacetime near the isolated horizon. The same superposition method applied to t...
متن کاملRadiation Fields on Schwarzschild Spacetime
In this paper we define the radiation field for the wave equation on the Schwarzschild black hole spacetime. In this context it has two components: the rescaled restriction of the time derivative of a solution to null infinity and to the event horizon. In the process, we establish some regularity properties of solutions of the wave equation on the spacetime. In particular, we prove that the reg...
متن کاملA rigidity property of asymptotically simple spacetimes arising from conformally flat data
Given a time symmetric initial data set for the vacuum Einstein field equations which is conformally flat near infinity, it is shown that the solutions to the regular finite initial value problem at spatial infinity extend smoothly through the critical sets where null infinity touches spatial infinity if and only if the initial data coincides with Schwarzschild data near infinity.
