Matching stationary spacetimes

چکیده
Using the quasi-Maxwell formalism, we derive the necessary and sufficient conditions for the matching of two stationary spacetimes along a stationary timelike hypersurface, expressed in terms of the gravitational and gravitomagnetic fields and the 2-dimensional matching surface on the space manifold. We prove existence and uniqueness results to the matching problem for stationary perfect fluid spacetimes with spherical, planar, hyperbolic and cylindrical symmetry. Finally, we find an explicit interior for the cylindrical analogue of the NUT spacetime.

On the Uniqueness and Global Dynamics of Ads Spacetimes
We study global aspects of complete, non-singular asymptotically locally AdS spacetimes solving the vacuum Einstein equations whose conformal infinity is an arbitrary globally stationary spacetime. It is proved that any such solution which is asymptotically stationary to the past and future is itself globally stationary. This gives certain rigidity or uniqueness results for exact AdS and relate...
متن کاملt-PERIODIC LIGHT RAYS IN CONFORMALLY STATIONARY SPACETIMES VIA FINSLER GEOMETRY
In this paper we prove several multiplicity results of t-periodic light rays in conformally stationary spacetimes using the Fermat metric and the extensions of the classical theorems of Gromoll-Meyer and Bangert-Hingston to Finsler manifolds. Moreover, we exhibit some stationary spacetimes with a finite number of t-periodic light rays and compute a lower bound for the period of the light rays w...
متن کاملGyroscopic Precession and Inertial Forces in Axially Symmetric Stationary Spacetimes
We study the phenomenon of gyroscopic precession and the analogues of inertial forces within the framework of general relativity. Covariant connections between the two are established for circular orbits in stationary spacetimes with axial symmetry. Specializing to static spacetimes, we prove that gyroscopic precession and centrifugal force both reverse at the photon orbits. Simultaneous non-re...
متن کاملThe Euler Characteristic of Stationary Spacetimes Containing Black Holes
The Euler characteristic of asymptotically flat, stationary vacuum spacetimes is calculated based on compactifications and Lefschetz’s fixed point formula. It turns out that it can be zero or two.
متن کاملLogarithmic 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...
