Relating the Newman–Penrose constants to the Geroch–Hansen multipole moments
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we express the Newman–Penrose constants in terms of the Geroch–Hansen multipole moments for stationary spacetimes. These expressions are translation-invariant combinations of the multipole moments up to quadrupole order, which do not normally vanish.

Logarithmic Newman-Penrose constants for arbitrary polyhomogeneous spacetimes
A discussion in how to calculate asymptotic expansions for polyhomogeneous spacetimes using the Newman-Penrose formalism is done. The existence of logarithmic Newman-Penrose constants for a general polyhomogeneous spacetime (i.e. a polyhomogeneous spacetime such that Ψ0 = O(r −3 ln3)) is addressed. It is found that these constants exist for the generic case. As an application stationary polyhom...
متن کاملCalculation of, and bounds for, the multipole moments of stationary spacetimes
In this paper the multipole moments of stationary asymptotically flat spacetimes are considered. We show how the tensorial recursion of Geroch and Hansen can be replaced by a scalar recursion on R. We also give a bound on the multipole moments. This gives a proof of the ”necessary part” of a long standing conjecture due to Geroch.
متن کاملExplicit multipole moments of stationary axisymmetric spacetimes
In this article we study multipole moments of axisymmetric stationary asymptotically flat spacetimes. We show how the tensorial recursion of Geroch and Hansen can be reduced to a recursion of scalar functions. We also demonstrate how a careful choice of conformal factor collects all moments into one complex valued function on R, where the moments appear as the derivatives at 0. As an applicatio...
متن کاملMultipole moments of axisymmetric spacetimes
In this thesis we study multipole moments of axisymmetric spacetimes. Using the recursive definition of the multipole moments of Geroch and Hansen we develop a method for computing all multipole moments of a stationary axisymmetric spacetime without the use of a recursion. This is a generalisation of a method developed by Herberthson for the static case. Using Herberthson’s method we also devel...
متن کاملStatic axisymmetric space-times with prescribed multipole moments
In this article we develop a method of finding the static axisymmetric space-time corresponding to any given set of multipole moments. In addition to an implicit algebraic form for the general solution, we also give a power series expression for all finite sets of multipole moments. As conjectured by Geroch we prove in the special case of axisymmetry, that there is a static space-time for any g...
