Static Cylindrical Symmetry and Conformal Flatness
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the whole set of equations with regularity and matching conditions required for the description of physically meaningful static cylindrically symmmetric distributions of matter, smoothly matched to Levi-Civita vacuum spacetime. It is shown that the conformally flat solution with equal principal stresses represents an incompressible fluid. It is also proved that any conformally flat cylindrically symmetric static source cannot be matched through Darmois conditions to the Levi-Civita spacetime. Further evidence is given that when the Newtonian mass per unit length reaches 1/2 the spacetime has plane symmetry. e-mail: [email protected] e-mail: [email protected] e-mail: [email protected] and [email protected]

The constant density, spherically symmetric, perfect fluid solution to Einstein’s equations was given in 1916 by Schwarzschild[1]. Despite being a stalwart of introductory General Relativity, the source of much of the knowledge we have about the Schwarzschild star interior solution is shrouded in obscurity. When he was writing about it in 1971, Buchdahl[2] decried the fact that no standard text...
متن کاملThe Calderón Problem with Partial Data on Manifolds and Applications
We consider Calderón’s inverse problem with partial data in dimensions n ≥ 3. If the inaccessible part of the boundary satisfies a (conformal) flatness condition in one direction, we show that this problem reduces to the invertibility of a broken geodesic ray transform. In Euclidean space, sets satisfying the flatness condition include parts of cylindrical sets, conical sets, and surfaces of re...

We review the conformal symmetry group and investigate the isomorphism between the conformal group and O( D,2 ) . We study the classically conformal invariant scalar theory in D -dimensions with a non-positive potential . We solve the equations of motion by assigning O(D-1, 2)symmetry to the classical solutions with broken translational symmetry in all directions. Then we consider a six d...
متن کاملOptimization of Conformal Mapping Functions used in Developing Closed-Form Solutions for Underground Structures with Conventional cross Sections
Elastic solutions applicable to single underground openings usually suffer from geometry related simplification. Most tunnel shapes possess two axes of symmetry while a wide range of geometries used in tunneling practice involve only one symmetry axis. D-shape or horse-shoe shape tunnels and others with arched roof and floor are examples of the later category (one symmetry axis). In the present...
متن کاملThe Pseudo-Conformal Universe: Scale Invariance from Spontaneous Breaking of Conformal Symmetry
We present a novel theory of the very early universe which addresses the traditional horizon and flatness problems of big bang cosmology and predicts a scale invariant spectrum of perturbations. Unlike inflation, this scenario requires no exponential accelerated expansion of space-time. Instead, the early universe is described by a conformal field theory minimally coupled to gravity. The confor...
