Spherical gravitating condensers in general relativity
نویسندگان
چکیده
By a spherical gravitating condenser we mean two concentric charged shells made of perfect fluids restricted by the condition that the electric field is nonvanishing only between the shells. Flat space is assumed inside the inner shell. By using Israel’s formalism we first analyze the general system of N shells and then concentrate on the two-shell condensers. Energy conditions are taken into account; physically interesting cases are summarized in two tables, but also more exotic situations in which, for example, the inner shell may occur below the inner horizon of the corresponding Reissner-Nordström geometry or the spacetime is curved only inside the condenser are considered. Classical limits are mentioned.

We summarize the general formalism describing surface flows in three–dimensional space in a form which is suitable for various astrophysical applications. We then apply the formalism to the analysis of non–radial perturbations of self–gravitating spherical fluid shells. Spherically symmetric gravitating shells (or bubbles) have been used in numerous model problems especially in general relativi...
متن کاملCosmological solutions of the Vlasov-Einstein system with spherical, plane, and hyperbolic symmetry
The Vlasov-Einstein system describes a self-gravitating, collisionless gas within the framework of general relativity. We investigate the initial value problem in a cosmological setting with spherical, plane, or hyperbolic symmetry and prove that for small initial data solutions exist up to a spacetime singularity which is a curvature and a crushing singularity. An important tool in the analysi...

متن کاملA Numerical Study of Boson Stars: Einstein Equations with a Matter Source
The study of the properties and dynamics of self-gravitating bosonic objects in Einstein gravity was conducted. Bosons are promising candidates for dark matter. They can form compact objects through a Jeans instability mechanism. We studied boson stars made up of self-gravitating scalar fields, with and without nonlinear self-couplings. These are non-topological solutions of the coupled Einstei...
متن کاملOn the equation of motion of compact binaries in Post-Newtonian approximation
A third post-Newtonian (3 PN) equation of motion for two spherical compact stars in a harmonic coordinate has been derived based on the surface integral approach and the strong field point particle limit. The strong field point particle limit enables us to incorporate a notion of a self-gravitating regular star into general relativity. The resulting 3 PN equation of motion is Lorentz invariant,...
