Spacetimes admitting quasi-conformal curvature tensor
Authors
Abstract:
The object of the present paper is to study spacetimes admitting quasi-conformal curvature tensor. At first we prove that a quasi-conformally flat spacetime is Einstein and hence it is of constant curvature and the energy momentum tensor of such a spacetime satisfying Einstein's field equation with cosmological constant is covariant constant. Next, we prove that if the perfect fluid pacetime with vanishing quasi-conformal curvature tensor obeys Einstein's field equation without cosmological constant, then the spacetime has constant energy density and isotropic pressure and the perfect fluid always behave as a cosmological constant and also such a spacetime is infinitesimally spatially isotropic relative to the unit timelike vector field $U$. Moreover, it is shown that in a purely electromagnetic distribution the spacetime with vanishing quasi-conformal curvature tensor is filled with radiation and extremely hot gases. We also study dust-like fluid spacetime with vanishing quasi-conformal curvature tensor.

full textSymmetric curvature tensor
Recently, we have used the symmetric bracket of vector fields, and developed the notion of the symmetric derivation. Using this machinery, we have defined the concept of symmetric curvature. This concept is natural and is related to the notions divergence and Laplacian of vector fields. This concept is also related to the derivations on the algebra of symmetric forms which has been discu...

full textElectromagnetic mass model admitting conformal motion
We study charged fluid spheres under the 4-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell spacetime. The solutions thus obtained admitting conformal motion. We also investigate whether the solutions set provide electromagnetic mass models such that the physical parameters including the gravitational mass arise from the electromagnetic field alone. In this connection three cases are studied here in detail with th...
full textConformal mappings preserving the Einstein tensor of Weyl manifolds
In this paper, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for a conformal mapping between two Weyl manifolds to preserve Einstein tensor. Then we prove that some basic curvature tensors of $W_n$ are preserved by such a conformal mapping if and only if the covector field of the mapping is locally a gradient. Also, we obtained the relation between the scalar curvatures of the Weyl manifolds r...
full textThe Chevreton Tensor and Einstein-Maxwell Spacetimes Conformal to Einstein Spaces
In this paper we characterize the source-free Einstein-Maxwell spacetimes which have a trace-free Chevreton tensor. We show that this is equivalent to the Chevreton tensor being of pure-radiation type and that it restricts the spacetimes to Petrov types N or O. We prove that the trace of the Chevreton tensor is related to the Bach tensor and use this to find all Einstein-Maxwell spacetimes with...
