Algebraically special axisymmetric solutions of the higher-dimensional vacuum Einstein equation

چکیده
A d-dimensional spacetime is “axisymmetric” if it possesses an SO(d−2) isometry group whose orbits are (d−3)-spheres. In this paper, algebraically special, axisymmetric solutions of the higher dimensional vacuum Einstein equation (with cosmological constant) are investigated. Necessary and sufficient conditions for static axisymmetric solutions to belong to different algebraic classes are presented. Then general (possibly time-dependent) axisymmetric solutions are discussed. All axisymmetric solutions of algebraic types II, D, III and N are obtained.

Solutions of Einstein ’ s field equations related to Jacobi ’ s inversion problem R . Meinel and G . Neugebauer Max – Planck
A new class of exact solutions to the axisymmetric and stationary vacuum Einstein equations containing n arbitrary complex parameters and one arbitrary real solution of the axisymmetric three–dimensional Laplace equation is presented. The solutions are related to Jacobi's inversion problem for hyperelliptic Abelian integrals.
متن کاملGeneralized Weyl Solutions
It was shown by Weyl that the general static axisymmetric solution of the vacuum Einstein equations in four dimensions is given in terms of a single axisymmetric solution of the Laplace equation in three-dimensional flat space. Weyl’s construction is generalized here to arbitrary dimension D ≥ 4. The general solution of the D-dimensional vacuum Einstein equations that admits D− 2 orthogonal com...

متن کاملThe Goldberg-Sachs theorem in linearized gravity
The Goldberg-Sachs theorem has been very useful in constructing algebraically special exact solutions of Einstein vacuum equation. Most of the physical meaningful vacuum exact solutions are algebraically special. We show that the Goldberg-Sachs theorem is not true in linearized gravity. This is a remarkable result, which gives light on the understanding of the physical meaning of the linearized...

In this paper we consider the action of higher derivative gravity up to the second order terms in the scalars made from the Ricci scalar, Ricci and Riemann tensors. We use the Bach- Lanczos identity of the Weyl tensor in four dimensions and show that the solutions of 4-dimensional Einstein equations with cosmological constant term in vacuum, which are known as Einstein metrics, satisfy the fie...
