چکیده
We investigate the equal-mass 3-body system in general relativistic lineal gravity in the presence of a cosmological constant Λ. The cosmological vacuum energy introduces features that do not have a non-relativistic counterpart, inducing a competing expan-sion/contraction of spacetime that competes with the gravitational self-attraction of the bodies. We derive a canonical expression for the Hamiltonian of the system and discuss the numerical solution of the resulting equations of motion. As for the system with Λ = 0, we find that the structure of the phase space yields a rich variety of interesting dynamics that can be divided into three distinct regions: annulus, pretzel, and chaotic; the first two being regions of quasi-periodicity while the latter is a region of chaos. However unlike the Λ = 0 case, we find that a negative cosmological constant considerably diminishes the amount of chaos in the system, even beyond that of the Λ = 0 non-relativistic system. By contrast, a positive cosmological constant considerably enhances the amount of chaos, typically leading to KAM breakdown.

We consider the problem of the motion of N bodies in a self-gravitating system in two spacetime dimensions. We point out that this system can be mapped onto the quantum-mechanical problem of an N-body generalization of the problem of the H + 2 molecular ion in one dimension. The canonical gravitational N-body formalism can be extended to include electromagnetic charges. We derive a general algo...

The results of our study of the motion of a three particle, self-gravitating system in general relativistic lineal gravity is presented for an arbitrary ratio of the particle masses. We derive a canonical expression for the Hamiltonian of the system and discuss the numerical solution of the resulting equations of motion. This solution is compared to the corresponding non-relativistic and post-N...

The C-metric is one of few known exact solutions of Einstein's field equations which describes the gravitational field of moving sources. For a vanishing or positive cosmological constant, the C-metric represents two accelerated black holes in asymptotically flat or de Sitter spacetime. For a negative cosmological constant the structure of the spacetime is more complicated. Depending on the val...

Einstein’s field equations with variable gravitational and cosmological “constant” are considered in presence of perfect fluid for Bianchi type-I spacetime. Consequences of the four cases of the phenomenological decay of Λ have been discussed which are consistent with observations. The physical significance of the cosmological models have also been discussed. PACS: 98.80.Es, 98.80.-k
