Hydrostatic Equilibrium of a Perfect Fluid Sphere with Exterior Higher Dimensional Schwarzschild Spacetime

چکیده
We discuss the question of how the number of dimensions of space and time can influence the equilibrium configurations of stars. We find that dimensionality does increase the effect of mass but not the contribution of the pressure, which is the same in any dimension. In the presence of a (positive) cosmological constant the condition of hydrostatic equilibrium imposes a lower limit on mass and matter density. We show how this limit depends on the number of dimensions and suggest that Λ > 0 is more effective in 4D than in higher dimensions. We obtain a general limit for the degree of compactification (gravitational potential on the boundary) of perfect fluid stars in D-dimensions. We argue that the effects of gravity are stronger in 4D than in any other number of dimensions. The generality of the results is also discussed.

Hydrostatic Equilibrium of Insular, Static, Spherically Symmetric, Perfect Fluid Solutions in General Relativity
An analysis of insular solutions of Einstein’s field equations for static, spherically symmetric, source mass, on the basis of exterior Schwarzschild solution is presented. Following the analysis, we demonstrate that the regular solutions governed by a self-bound (that is, the surface density does not vanish together with pressure) equation of state (EOS) or density variation can not exist in t...
متن کاملStellar Equilibrium in 2 + 1 Dimensions
The hydrostatic equilibrium of a 2+1 dimensional perfect fluid star in asymptotically anti-de Sitter space is discussed. The interior geometry matches the exterior 2+1 black-hole solution. An upper mass limit is found, analogous to Buchdahl’s theorem in 3+1, and the possibility of collapse is discussed. The case of a uniform matter density is solved exactly and a new interior solution is presen...

We prove the theorem: The necessary and sufficient condition for a spherically symmetric spacetime to represent an isothermal perfect fluid (barotropic equation of state with density falling off as inverse square of the curvature radius) distribution without boundary is that it is conformal to the “minimally” curved (gravitation only manifesting in tidal acceleration and being absent in particl...
متن کاملStatus of self - bound structures in hydrostatic equilibrium The actual meaning of exterior Schwarzschild solution
We show that regular structures governed by an equation of state (EOS) or density variation such that the density at the surface does not vanish together with pressure (also known as self-bound regular structures) can not exist in the state of hydrostatic equilibrium. The only configuration which could exist in this regard is governed by homogeneous density distribution. Other structures which ...

Einstein’s field equations with cosmological constant are analysed for a static, spherically symmetric perfect fluid having constant density. Five new global solutions are described. One of these solutions has the Nariai solution joined on as an exterior field. Another solution describes a decreasing pressure model with exterior Schwarzschild-de Sitter spacetime having decreasing group orbits a...
