On the Structure of Stationary and Axisymmetric Metrics
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the structure of stationary and axisymmetric metrics solving the vacuum Einstein equations of General Relativity in four and higher dimensions, building on recent work in hep-th/0408141. We write the Einstein equations in a new form that naturally identifies the sources for such metrics. The sources live in a one-dimensional subspace and the entire metric is uniquely determined by them. We study in detail the structure of stationary and axisymmetric metrics in four dimensions, and consider as an example the sources of the Kerr black hole.

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 کاملKerr black hole in the class of axisymmetric artificial black holes .
Perturbations of the Kerr black hole in the class of axisymmetric artificial black holes. Abstract Artificial black holes (called also acoustic or optical black holes) are the black holes for the linear wave equation describing the wave propagation in a moving medium. They attracted a considerable interest of physicists who study them to better understand the black holes in general relativity. ...
متن کاملRational Chebyshev Collocation approach in the solution of the axisymmetric stagnation flow on a circular cylinder
In this paper, a spectral collocation approach based on the rational Chebyshev functions for solving the axisymmetric stagnation point flow on an infinite stationary circular cylinder is suggested. The Navier-Stokes equations which govern the flow, are changed to a boundary value problem with a semi-infinite domain and a third-order nonlinear ordinary differential equation by applying proper si...

متن کاملTeleparallel Energy-Momentum Distribution of Lewis-Papapetrou Spacetimes
In this paper, we find the energy-momentum distribution of stationary axisymmetric spacetimes in the context of teleparallel theory by using Möller prescription. The metric under consideration is the generalization of the Weyl metrics called the Lewis-Papapetrou metric. The class of stationary axisymmetric solutions of the Einstein field equations has been studied by Galtsov to include the grav...
