On the Gravitomagnetic Effects in Cylindrically Symmetric Spacetimes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using gyroscopes we generalize results, obtained for the gravitomagnetic clock effect in the particular case when the exterior spacetime is produced by a rotating dust cylinder, to the case when the vacuum spacetime is described by the general cylindrically symmetric Lewis spacetime. Results are contrasted with those obtained for the Kerr spacetime. ∗Postal address: Apartado 80793, Caracas 1080A, Venezuela. †e-mail: [email protected] ‡e-mail: [email protected]

Addendum: Symmetries of the energy-momentum tensor
In recent papers [1-3], we have discussed matter symmetries of non-static spherically symmetric spacetimes, static plane symmetric spacetimes and cylindrically symmetric static spacetimes. These have been classified for both cases when the energy-momentum tensor is non-degenerate and also when it is degenerate. Here we add up some consequences and the missing references about the Ricci tensor. ...
متن کاملSymmetries of the Energy-Momentum Tensor of Cylindrically Symmetric Static Spacetimes
We investigate matter symmetries of cylindrically symmetric static spacetimes. These are classified for both cases when the energymomentum tensor is non-degenerate and also when it is degenerate. It is found that the non-degenerate energy-momentum tensor gives either three, four, five, six, seven or ten independent matter collineations in which three are isometries and the rest are proper. The ...
متن کاملOn the definition of cylindrical symmetry
The standard definition of cylindrical symmetry in General Relativity is reviewed. Taking the view that axial symmetry is an essential pre-requisite for cylindrical symmetry, it is argued that the requirement of orthogonal transitivity of the isometry group should be dropped, this leading to a new, more general definition of cylindrical symmetry. Stationarity and staticity in cylindrically symm...
متن کاملLevi-Civita spacetimes in multidimensional theories
We obtain the most general static cylindrically symmetric vacuum solutions of the Einstein field equations in (4+N) dimensions. Under the assumption of separation of variables, we construct a family of Levi-Civita-Kasner vacuum solutions in (4 + N). We discuss the dimensional reduction of the static solutions. Depending on the reduction procedure, they can be interpreted either as a scalar-vacu...
متن کاملOn spacetimes with 3-parameter isometry group in string-inspired theory of gravity1
Cylindrically symmetric stationary spacetimes are examined in the framework of string-inspired generalized theory of gravity. In four dimensions this theory contains a dilatonic scalar field in addition to gravity. A charged perfect fluid representing fermionic matter is also considered. Explicit solution is given and a discussion of the geometrical properties of the solutions found is carried ...
